For the equation 4y=8 do you subtract 8 from 4 and get the answer?

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Not quite...you want to solve for 'y' so you actually divide everything by 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so y=2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup, and you can check your answer by plugging it back in and seeing if it equals to 8

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

That would be correct yes!
