How to solve 1/2 * y + 4 = 6

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

$$\frac{1}{2}y+4=6$$

Solve for y

$y=4$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $4$ from both sides.

$$\frac{1}{2}y=6-4$$

Subtract $4$ from $6$ to get $2$.

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

Multiply both sides by $2$, the reciprocal of $\frac{1}{2}$.

$$y=2\times 2$$

Multiply $2$ and $2$ to get $4$.

$$y=4$$
