Hi,
Here we are going to be working on isolating the variable y, and seeing what its value equates to.
To do this, we must try and get the variable y on one side of the equation by itself.
Let's look at step one -
<em>4y - 1 = 7
</em>
We want to get rid of the 1 since we need to isolate x. We do this by doing the inverse of its operation. Since 1 is negative, if we add positive 1 to it - we will get 0, thereby being closer to isolating y.
However, when we do something on one side of the equation we must do it on the other. This means we will add 1 on both sides.
<em>4y - 1 + 1 = 7 + 1
</em>
<em>4y = 8
</em>
<em />Remember how I mentioned we do the inverse of the operation? In this case, 4 is multiplying y. The inverse operation of multiplication is division. So, to get rid of the 4 - we must divide 4y by 4, on both sides.
<em>4y / 4 = 8 / 4
</em>
<em>y = 2
</em>
We now know the variable y is equal to 2.
Hopefully, this helps.
Hello!
We drove a total of 504 miles in 9 hours. How I solved this equation is by dividing 504 by 9. 504 / 9 = 56, as the answer. You could also solve this just by adding how many times 9 can go into 504, but that will be longer for the same result.
Enjoy.

<span>−4x−8>−20
Add 8 to both sides
-4x>-12
Divide both sides by -4
Final Answer: x<3</span>
Answer:
D or 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation you are saying is
-x = x-6
If you move both x's to one side, you get
-2x = -6
From this, you can simplify by dividing by -2
x=3, or D.
Hope this helped!
