Question: 1 / 400

Solve for y: 4y - 8 = 12. What is the value of y?

2

4

5

To solve the equation \( 4y - 8 = 12 \), start by isolating the term with \( y \). First, add 8 to both sides of the equation:

\[

4y - 8 + 8 = 12 + 8

\]

This simplifies to:

\[

4y = 20

\]

Next, to solve for \( y \), divide both sides by 4:

\[

y = \frac{20}{4}

\]

Calculating this gives:

\[

y = 5

\]

Thus, the value of \( y \) is 5. This method illustrates the step-by-step process of isolating the variable and solving the equation.
