Both equations are equivalent. If the goal is to solve for y, the equation y = 3/4 is the preferred one.rustynail said:
No, adding 3 to both sides gives 4y= 3, not 4y= -3.Cadman said:
The general process for solving this equation is to first move the constant term (3) to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides. This will result in 4y = -3. Then, divide both sides by the coefficient of the variable (4) to isolate the variable, resulting in y = -3/4. This is the solution to the equation.
Isolating the variable in an equation is important because it allows us to find the specific value of the variable that satisfies the equation. By isolating the variable, we can see the relationship between the variable and the other terms in the equation, and determine its unique value.
No, this equation can only have one solution. Since there is only one variable (y) and one constant term (3), there is only one possible value for y that will make the equation true.
Yes, there is a way to check if the solution is correct. You can substitute the value of y into the original equation and see if it results in a true statement. In this case, if we substitute y = -3/4, we get 3 + 4(-3/4) = 3 - 3 = 0, which is true. This confirms that -3/4 is the correct solution to the equation.
Yes, the same general process can be used to solve equations with different variables and coefficients. The key is to always isolate the variable by performing the same operation on both sides of the equation. However, the specific steps may vary depending on the equation and the coefficients involved.
