4 y + 3 = 2 y + 14 subtract 2y from both sides to get the y figures on the same side. 2 y + 3 = 14 Then subract 3 from both sides to get the number values on the other side. 2 y = 11 Divide by 2 to get y alone. y = 2 11 y = 5.5
To solve the equation 4 y + 3 = 2 y + 14 , you first isolate the y terms by subtracting 2 y and then rearranging the equation. After simplifying, you find that y = 5.5 .
