How to solve 1/2 + y = 9/2

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

$$\frac{1}{2}+y=\frac{9}{2}$$

Solve for y

$y=4$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $\frac{1}{2}$ from both sides.

$$y=\frac{9}{2}-\frac{1}{2}$$

Since $\frac{9}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$y=\frac{9-1}{2}$$

Subtract $1$ from $9$ to get $8$.

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

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

$$y=4$$
