either y = 4.5
or y = -4.5
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
To get the solution, we will need to isolate the y on one side of the equation.
<u>This can be done as follows:</u>
4y</span>²<span> = 81
</span>
<span>
y</span>²<span> = 20.25
y = +/- </span>√(20.25)<span>
either y = +</span>√<span>(20.25) = 4.5
or y = -</span>√<span>(20.25) = -4.5
Since there are no restrictions on the value of y, therefore, both answers would be accepted
