Answer:
y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]4y - 1 =7[/tex]
By looking at the given equation
LEts think of
1. a number for y
2. multiply the number by 4
3. subtract 1 from it
4. that is equal to 7
Now we work backwards to solve for the equation for y
we start from 7
Opposite of subtraction is addition, so we add 1 on both sides
[tex]4y-1=7[/tex]
[tex]4y-1+1=7+1[/tex]
[tex]4y=8[/tex]
Opposite of multiplication is division
so we divide both sides by 4
y=2
So the value of y is 2
