Question

Could use some help with this math problem. Solve: 4y + 3 = 15.

Answer 1

y = 3

Explanation:

4y + 3 = 15 First subtract 3 from each side.

4y + 3 - 3 = 15 - 3 The 3 on the left will cancel.

4y = 15 - 3

4y = 12 Divide each side by 4

4y/4 = 12/4 The 4 on the left will cancel because 4/4 = 1

y = 12/4

y = 3
