To solve the equation \( \frac{1}{4}y - 4 = 16 \), follow these steps: 1. **Add 4 to both sides** to isolate the term with \( y \): \[ \frac{1}{4}y - 4 + 4 = 16 + 4 \] \[ \frac{1}{4}y = 20 \] 2. **Multiply both sides by 4** to eliminate the fraction: \[ 4 \times \frac{1}{4}y = 4 \times 20 \] \[ y = 80 \] So, the solution is \( y = 80 \).

To solve the equation \( \frac{1}{4}y - 4 = 16 \), follow these steps:

Add 4 to both sides to isolate the term with \( y \):

\[ \frac{1}{4}y - 4 + 4 = 16 + 4 \] \[ \frac{1}{4}y = 20 \]
Multiply both sides by 4 to eliminate the fraction:

\[ 4 \times \frac{1}{4}y = 4 \times 20 \] \[ y = 80 \]

So, the solution is \( y = 80 \).
