Solve for y (y-3)(y-4)=0

$(y - 3) (y - 4) = 0$

Step 1

If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to $0$ , the entire expression will be equal to $0$ .

$y - 3 = 0$

$y - 4 = 0$

Step 2

Set $y - 3$ equal to $0$ and solve for $y$ .

Set $y - 3$ equal to $0$ .

$y - 3 = 0$

Add $3$ to both sides of the equation.

$y = 3$

Step 3

Set $y - 4$ equal to $0$ and solve for $y$ .

Set $y - 4$ equal to $0$ .

$y - 4 = 0$

Add $4$ to both sides of the equation.

$y = 4$

Step 4

The final solution is all the values that make $(y - 3) (y - 4) = 0$ true.

$y = 3, 4$
