Question

Which equation has a solution of 3/4 for y?4y = 6y - 1=-1/48y = 92 1/4 + y = 4

Answer 1

The first tep is to solve each equation for y

For the first equation,

4y = 6

y = 6/4 = 3/2

For the second equation,

y - 1 = - 1/4

y = - 1/4 + 1 = 3/4

For the third equation,

8y = 9

y = 9/8

For the fourth equation,

2 1/4 + y = 4

y = 4 - 2 1/4

y = 1 3/4

Thus, the correct option is

y - 1 = - 1/4
