Identify Equation and Operation: Identify the equation and the operation needed to isolate the variable y. The equation is 4×y+7=39. We need to perform inverse operations to solve for y.
Subtract 7 to Isolate: Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with the variable y.4×y+7−7=39−7This simplifies to 4×y=32.
Divide by 4 to Solve: Divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for y.44×y=432This simplifies to y=8.
