Answer: y = 2.1

=========================================================

Work Shown:

4y = 8.4

4y/4 = 8.4/4 .... divide both sides by 4; division property of equality

y = 2.1

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

Check:

4y = 8.4

4*2.1 = 8.4 .... replace y with 2.1

8.4 = 8.4

We end up with a true equation, as we get the same number on both sides, so we've confirmed the answer.
