translate the following sentence into math symbols. then solve the problem. y more than 4 is -36
you just said : y + 4 = -36
Is it correct?
Your Eq is correct; solve it.
To translate the given sentence into math symbols, we can represent "y more than 4" using the expression "y + 4" and set it equal to -36, as stated in the question. Mathematically, this can be written as:
y + 4 = -36
To solve for y, we can isolate the variable y by performing algebraic operations.
Let's begin:
Step 1: Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.
y + 4 - 4 = -36 - 4
y = -40
Therefore, the solution to the problem is y = -40.
