Solve for y (y-4)/2=10

$\frac{y - 4}{2} = 10$

Step 1

Multiply both sides of the equation by $2$ .

$2 \frac{y - 4}{2} = 2 \cdot 10$

Step 2

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$2 \frac{y - 4}{2} = 2 \cdot 10$

Rewrite the expression.

$y - 4 = 2 \cdot 10$

Simplify the right side.

Multiply $2$ by $10$ .

$y - 4 = 20$

Step 3

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $4$ to both sides of the equation.

$y = 20 + 4$

Add $20$ and $4$ .

$y = 24$
