4y-4/8 +26/2 =1/4
4y=1/4+4/8-26/2
4y=.25+.5-13
4y=-12.25
y=-12.25/4 ans.
4*-12.25/4-4/8+26/2=1/4
-49/4-1/2+13=1/4
-49/4-2/4+52/4=1/4
(-49-2+52)/4=1/4
(-51+52)/4=1/4
1/4=1/4

4y-4/8 +26/2 =1/4 Given
4y-1/2+26/2=1/4 reduce -4/8 to -1/2
4y+25/2=1/4 combine -1/2 and 26/2
4y=-25/2+1/4 subtract 25/2 from both sides
4y=-50/4+1/4 get a common denominator
4y=-49/4 add
divide both sides by 4 to get y by itself
flip and multiply
