To solve for y, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
Starting with the equation:
4x - y = 24
We can begin by moving the term with y to the other side by adding y to both sides of the equation:
4x - y + y = 24 + y
Simplifying:
4x = 24 + y
Next, we want to isolate y, so we subtract 24 from both sides of the equation:
4x - 24 = 24 + y - 24
Simplifying:
4x - 24 = y
Finally, we switch the sides of the equation to get y by itself:
y = 4x - 24
Therefore, the equation is:
y = 4x - 24
Solve for y. Use the note pad to show your work, then type your equation in the box below.
