4y=48

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Do you know what is happening between the 4 and the y? As in it addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

division

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Well, that is the operation you will use to solve. However, between the 4 and the y it is multiplication. So you would do the opposite and divide.

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Remember the whole idea is to have the variable in this case 'y' by itself

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

So what do you divide both sides by?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it's multiplication

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Great so you always do the opposite. So divide both sides by the number with the variable.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

What did you get?

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

What did y equal @jalyn1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Good.

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

You can always check your answer by plugging it back into the problem. 4(12)= 48
