Question

Slove for y9/4y-12=1/4y-4

Answer 1

we have the expression

`(9)/(4)y-12=(1)/(4)y-4​`

Solve for y

That means

Isolate the variable y

so

step 1

Multiply by 4 both sides to remove the fractions

`9y-48=y-16`

step 2

subtract y both sides

`\begin{gathered} 9y-48-y=y-16-y \\ 8y-48=-16 \end{gathered}`

step 3

Adds 48 both sides

`\begin{gathered} 8y-48+48=-16+48 \\ 8y=32 \end{gathered}`

step 4

Divide by 8 both sides

`\begin{gathered} y=(32)/(8) \\ y=4 \end{gathered}`

therefore

the value of y=4
