Y more than 4 is -36
Y=40
To solve the equation "Y more than 4 is -36," you need to translate the sentence into an algebraic expression.
Let's start by assigning a variable to the unknown value. Let's use "x" as the variable. "Y more than 4" can be written as "Y + 4" or "4 + Y". Therefore, the algebraic expression for the sentence is:
Y + 4 = -36
Now, we can solve for Y by isolating it on one side of the equation. To do this, we subtract 4 from both sides:
Y + 4 - 4 = -36 - 4
This simplifies to:
Y = -40
So, the value of Y that makes "Y more than 4 equal to -36" is -40.
y - 4 = -36 ??
y = - 36 + 4
y = -32
