Question 258108
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
{{{y=(-49/4)/4}}}  divide both sides by 4 to get y by itself
{{{y=(-49/4)(1/4)}}}   flip and multiply
{{{y=-49/16}}}
