Math Problem Statement

-4y = -6

Solution

To solve the equation 4y=6-4y = -6, follow these steps:

  1. Divide both sides of the equation by 4-4 to isolate yy: y=64y = \frac{-6}{-4}

  2. Simplify the fraction: y=32y = \frac{3}{2}

Thus, the solution is y=32y = \frac{3}{2}.

Would you like any further details or have questions?

Here are five related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. How would you solve 5y=105y = 10?
  2. What if the equation was 8y=16-8y = 16? What would yy be?
  3. How do you solve an equation like 4y+2=104y + 2 = 10?
  4. Can you solve for yy in the equation y3=5\frac{y}{3} = 5?
  5. How would you graph the equation y=32y = \frac{3}{2}?

Tip: When solving equations, dividing both sides by the same non-zero number keeps the equality balanced.
