AI Thread Summary
To solve the equation -3 + 4y = 0, the first step is to isolate the term with y by adding 3 to both sides, resulting in 4y = 3. Dividing both sides by 4 gives the solution y = 3/4. This solution can be verified by substituting it back into the original equation. The discussion emphasizes the importance of correctly manipulating the equation to arrive at the preferred solution. The final confirmed solution is y = 3/4.

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


y= 3/4

is it true?
 


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

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

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

y = 3/4
