(y)/(7) = 4

To isolate y, we need to multiply either sides by 7 to cancel out the fraction.


(y)/(7) × 7 = 4 × 7
7 and 7 cancels out

y = 28

I'm assuming that you are trying to solve the equation for y, which we can do by isolating the variable on one side of the equation.

y/7 = 4

To get rid of the denominator of y, we have to multiply both sides by this amount (7).

(y/7)*(7) = (4)(7)

When we simplify, we get:

y = 28

If we go back to the original equation and plug in our answer, 28/7 = 4, we can see that it results in a true statement.

Therefore, the answer is y=28.
