4y-8=2y%2B14 Start with the given equation



4y=2y%2B14%2B8Add 8 to both sides


4y-2y=14%2B8 Subtract 2y from both sides


2y=14%2B8 Combine like terms on the left side


2y=22 Combine like terms on the right side


y=%2822%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y



y=11 Divide

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is y=11
