Did you attempt to do this problem? What would be the first thing you do?

 

[hpla]

y= 3/4

is it true?

 

[Ivan92]

Yep! :) You can check this answer by plugging it in back to the equation.

Following is the true solution

-3+4y=0

4y= -3

y = 3/4

Following is the true solution

-3+4y=0

4y= -3

y = 3/4

4y= 3 actually.

Following is the true solution

-3+4y=0

4y= -3

y = 3/4

4y= 3 actually.

Both equations are equivalent. If the goal is to solve for y, the equation y = 3/4 is the preferred one.

Following is the true solution

-3+4y=0

4y= -3

No, adding 3 to both sides gives 4y= 3, not 4y= -3.

y = 3/4
