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
