Question 987607: y/4 + 1 = C
I started working this problem out. I started by multiplying by 4 on both sides, getting y+1=4c. I subtracted 1, getting y=4c-1. I thought that was the solution, however I typically check my work on a few apps I have, just because I like knowing I got the right answer and then when I get something different I can try to find what I did wrong. Both things I checked said the correct solution was y=4c-4 and for some reason I don't know how they got the -4 at the end.

When you multiplied the left-side by 4, you should've gotten: y + 4, NOT y + 1. This is where you made the mistake. You failed to multiply + 1 by 4.
