How to solve 3 = (2Y + 4)/4

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$3=\frac{2Y+4}{4}$$

Solve for Y

$Y=4$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by $4$.

$$3\times 4=2Y+4$$

Multiply $3$ and $4$ to get $12$.

$$12=2Y+4$$

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

$$2Y+4=12$$

Subtract $4$ from both sides.

$$2Y=12-4$$

Subtract $4$ from $12$ to get $8$.

$$2Y=8$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$Y=\frac{8}{2}$$

Divide $8$ by $2$ to get $4$.

$$Y=4$$
