What is the solution to the equation?



4y – 12 = –4

Question 1 options:

y = 11

y = 2

y = –4

y = –13

1 answer

To solve the equation, we can start by adding 12 to both sides to isolate the variable on one side.

4y - 12 + 12 = -4 + 12

This simplifies to:

4y = 8

Next, we can divide both sides by 4 to solve for y.

4y/4 = 8/4

This simplifies to:

y = 2

Therefore, the solution to the equation 4y - 12 = -4 is y = 2.
