Question

What is the solution to -4y=28 please explain

Answer 1

You have the equation -4y=28

To solve this equation you need to clear the value of the unknown variable y, meaning, you have to simplfy the equation until you reach y=

For this, since y is multiplied by -4 you have to divide it by -4 to leave y alone, and what you do in one side of the equation must be done to the other side to keep the equality:

`\begin{gathered} -4y=28 \\ (-4y)/(-4)=(28)/(-4) \\ y=-7 \end{gathered}`

The value of y=-7
