Answer: E, A, D, C, B

Explanation:

First, we need to get y alone. So we will add 7 to the side of the equation that has the 4y in it.

So the first one will be.

Add 7 to both sides of the equation.

Now the second one is

4y = 25 + 7 Because what you do to one side of the equation, you do to the other. So we add 7 to 25.

Then the 3rd one will be 4y = 32 because 25+7 is equal to 32. But we still have that 4y on the other side of the equation. So the next equation is 4y = 32.

The second to last step is Divide both sides by 4 because thats

how you isolate y. So once you divide both sides by 4. You will get 8. Leading you into the next and final step.

Y = 8

And thats how you do it!
