hey how i solve this a simple equation
-3+4y=0
The discussion revolves around solving a simple linear equation, specifically the equation -3 + 4y = 0. Participants are exploring the steps involved in isolating the variable y.
The discussion includes various interpretations of the equation and attempts to clarify the correct solution. Some participants provide guidance on checking answers by substituting back into the original equation, while others express confusion regarding the manipulation of terms.
There appears to be some misunderstanding regarding the manipulation of the equation, particularly in the transition from -3 + 4y = 0 to the subsequent forms. Participants are navigating through these assumptions without reaching a consensus.
Cadman said:Following is the true solution
-3+4y=0
4y= -3
y = 3/4

-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.rustynail said:4y= 3 actually.
No, adding 3 to both sides gives 4y= 3, not 4y= -3.Cadman said:Following is the true solution
