Help me The product of 4 and y is the sum of 3 and 9

4y = 3+9

Thanks Steve

Sure, I can help you with that!

Let's break down the information you've given:

"The product of 4 and y" means that we need to multiply 4 by some unknown number, which we'll call y.

"is the sum of 3 and 9" means that this product is equal to the sum of 3 and 9.

To solve this equation, we can write it as an equation:

4y = 3 + 9

First, let's simplify the right side of the equation by adding 3 and 9:

4y = 12

Now, to find the value of y, we need to isolate it by dividing both sides of the equation by 4:

4y / 4 = 12 / 4

This simplifies to:

y = 3

So, the value of y that satisfies the conditions is 3. The product of 4 and 3 is indeed the sum of 3 and 9.
