To solve for y, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
First, let's add 4 to both sides:
1/4y - 4 + 4 = 16 + 4
Simplifying:
1/4y = 20
To get rid of the fraction, we can multiply both sides by 4:
(4)(1/4y) = (4)(20)
Simplifying:
y = 80
So the value of y in the equation 1/4y - 4 = 16 is 80.
What is the value of y in 1/4y - 4 = 16
