Answer:

Explanation:

1/4y - 3 = - 18

1/4y = -18 + 3

1/4y = 15

y = 15 : 1/4

y = 15 × (-4)

y = -60

---------------------------

check

1/4 × (-60) - 3 = -18

-15 - 3 = -18

-18 = -18

the answer is good

Answer:-60

Explanation:

Lets start by adding 3 to both sides.

(1)/(4)y-3=-18 -->
(1)/(4)y-3+3=-18+3 -->
(1)/(4)y=-15

(1)/(4)y=-15

Now that we have this, we can multiply both sides by 4, the reciprocal of 1/4.

$(1)/(4)y\cdot4=-15\cdot4$

y=-60
