Answer 3

hi

Answer 4

Correct, so our equation becomes
\[4y-53=19\]
now we just want y and its coefficient by itself.
so what would you do to that 53?

Answer 5

subtract 53 from both sides

Answer 6

no, it's a -53. so you would add it to both sides

Answer 7

you will get 72 and divide it by 4

Answer 8

\[4y = 72\]
now the final step is to divide both sides by 4 to get y.

Answer 9

yes, so y is what then?

Answer 10

y=18
