translate the following sentence into math symbols. then solve the problem y more than 4 is -36
y + 4 = -36
y = -40
The sentence "y more than 4 is -36" can be translated into math symbols as:
y + 4 = -36
To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable "y" on one side of the equation.
Let's subtract 4 from both sides of the equation:
y + 4 - 4 = -36 - 4
This simplifies to:
y = -40
So the solution to the equation is y = -40.
