When y = 4, we can evaluate the expression by substituting y with 4:
-3y + 4 = -3(4) + 4
Multiplying -3 and 4 gives us -12:
-12 + 4
Combining -12 and 4 gives us -8:
-8
Therefore, the expression evaluates to -8 when y = 4.
To evaluate the expression, you substitute the value of y into the expression and perform the calculations.
Substituting y = 4 into -3y + 4, we get:
-3(4) + 4
Simplifying, we have:
-12 + 4
Now, subtract:
-8
Therefore, the answer is -8.
To evaluate the algebraic expression when y = 4, you substitute the value of y into the expression and simplify.
The expression is -3y + 4. We are given that y = 4, so we substitute 4 for y in the expression:
-3(4) + 4
Next, we perform the multiplication:
-12 + 4
Finally, we perform the addition:
-8
Therefore, when y = 4, the value of the expression -3y + 4 is -8.
