Isolate absolute value expression: First, we need to isolate the absolute value expression by subtracting 7 from both sides of the equation.∣4y−2∣+7=37∣4y−2∣=37−7∣4y−2∣=30
Consider two cases: Next, we need to consider the two cases for the absolute value expression: one where the expression inside the absolute value is positive, and one where it is negative.Case 1: 4y−2=30Case 2: 4y−2=−30
Solve for y in Case 1: Now we solve for y in Case 1.4y−2=30Add 2 to both sides.4y=30+24y=32Now divide by 4.y=432y=8
Solve for y in Case 2: Next, we solve for y in Case 2.4y−2=−30Add 2 to both sides.4y=−30+24y=−28Now divide by 4.y=−28/4y=−7
