Answer: y = 1/2 or y = -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First move the 1 to the side with the 0
-4y^2 = -1 // -1 because when you move a number to the other side of the equation you have to multiply -1
Then divide by -4 on each side
y^2 = 1/4
square root each side
|y| = 1/2 // sq rt y^2 becomes an absolute value because when you square root a square it automatically becomes an absolute value
so the answer would be y = 1/2 or -1/2
to check just put it into the equation as y. Both work.

Since there are more parakeets than canaries, it is not possible to have only 1 of each bird in each cage <u>and</u> have the same number of birds in each cage.
He could use 42 cages, putting a canary in with the parakeet in 18 of them. Then he would have 18 cages with 2 birds each, and 24 cages with 1 bird each.
The only way to have the same number of birds (1) in all cages is to have 60 cages, 42 of which have 1 parakeet, and 18 of which have 1 canary.
_____
If more than 1 of each kind of bird can be put in the cage, the collection of birds could be put into 6 cages, each of which would be home to 7 parakeets and 3 canaries.
