Question

How to solve 7.-4y=48

Answer 1

y = -41/4 or 10.25

Explanation:

7 - 4y = 48

Move 7 across the equals sign to make y stand alone

-4y = 48 - 7

= 41

Divide both sides by the coefficient of y, which is -4

-4y/4 = 41/4

y = -41/4 or 10.25

Answer 2

`7-4y=48`

solve for y

`\begin{gathered} 7-4y-7=48-7 \\ -4y=41 \\ -(4y)/(-4)=(41)/(-4) \\ y=-(41)/(4) \end{gathered}`
