Question

$$1=\frac{2y+4}{4}$$

Solve for y

$y=0$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by $4$.

$$4=2y+4$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$2y+4=4$$

Subtract $4$ from both sides.

$$2y=4-4$$

Subtract $4$ from $4$ to get $0$.

$$2y=0$$

Product of two numbers is equal to $0$ if at least one of them is $0$. Since $2$ is not equal to $0$, $y$ must be equal to $0$.

$$y=0$$
