Question

18-5y=y+4 how do you do this

Answer 1

18 - 5y = y + 4
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
18 - 5y = y + 4
Simplify: (show steps)
-5y + 18 = y + 4
Step 2: Subtract y from both sides
-5y + 18 - y = y + 4 - y
6y + 18 = 4
Step 3: subtract 18 from both sides
-6y + 18 - 18 = 4 - 18
-6y = -14
Step 4: divide both sides by -6
-6y/-6 = -14/-6
y=7/3
