Solve for y: 4 = 1/4y - 2

a. - 24

b. 8

c. - 8

d. 24

4=1/4y-2

opposite of subtraction is addition so you want to add 2 to 4 which will cancel out the - 2 and you are left with 6=1/4y

6/1/4=1/4y/1/4

since 1/4 is being multiplied by y you want to do the opposite of multiplication which is division to isolate y.

Once you divide you would get 24 (d)
