The solution is y = 14.
To solve the equation, we want to isolate the variable y.
1. Start with the equation: y/4 - 2 = 3
2. Add 2 to both sides of the equation to isolate y: y/4 = 3 + 2
3. Simplify: y/4 = 5
4. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for y: y = 5 * 4
5. Simplify: y = 20
To check if y = 20 is the correct solution, substitute it back into the original equation:
20/4 - 2 = 3
5 - 2 = 3
3 = 3
Since both sides of the equation are equal, the solution y = 20 is correct.
Solve and check.
y/4-2=3
The solution is y=
