Question

Solve for y: 4y = 30

Answer 1

Answer: y = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for y in this equation, we want to get y by itself on the left side of the equation.

Since y is being multiplied by 4, to get y by itself, we need to divide by 4 on the left side of the equation. Since we divided by 4 on the left side, we must also divide by 4 on the right side.

On the left side, the 4's cancel out so we're simply left with y. On the right side, we have 30 divided 4 which is 7.5.

So we have y = 7.5.
