Given the statement:
1 over y minus 1 over 4
Determine the equivalent.
Solution:
This can be written as
1/y - ¼
Now in order to determine what is it equivalent to, we solve for the value of y. Start first by transposing -¼ on the other side of the equation, note that when transposing a number, the sign changes.
1/y = ¼
Cross multiply 1/y = ¼ in order to find the value of y.
y = 4
Final answer:
y = 4
