Question

If y = 4x + 14, what is the value of y divided by -4?

I'm really confused on this.
One way I tried solving it was by making x equal 0.
y = 4(0) + 14
y = 14
and then
y / -4
14 / -4
which simplifies to
-7/2

Is that correct?

Answer 1

I just tried solving it again and..

y = 4x + 14

(4x + 14) / -4

-1x -7/2

Is that the correct answer?

Answer 2

y = 4x + 14
y/4 = (4x+14)/-4 = 4x/-4 + 14/-4 = -x - 7/2

you are correct now.
