Question

Help me solve plz. Use substitution to check. y - 4 = 36​

Answer 1

y = 40

Explanation:

Isolate the variable (y). Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Add 4 to both sides.

y - 4 = 36

y - 4 (+4) = 36 (+4)

y = 36 + 4

y = 40

Check. Substitute 40 for y.

Plug in 40 for y.

y - 4 = 36

(40) - 4 = 36

36 = 36 (True).
