Question

$$5-4y=2$$

Solve for y

$y=\frac{3}{4}=0.75$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $5$ from both sides.

$$-4y=2-5$$

Subtract $5$ from $2$ to get $-3$.

$$-4y=-3$$

Divide both sides by $-4$.

$$y=\frac{-3}{-4}$$

Fraction $\frac{-3}{-4}$ can be simplified to $\frac{3}{4}$ by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$y=\frac{3}{4}$$
