Question 707470
is your problem like this.? 5+ y/4 = 28/4??
 ... then if so,, multiply the problem to 4 to cancel out 4 in the denominator places..
       4*(5+ y/4 = 28/4)
 so the equation becomes like this..
        20 + y = 28
then to find the value of y,, transpose 20 to the other side and change its sign.
        y = 28-20
        y= 8.. # no, it is not equal to 23..
               # as to why,, I'm not sure but only a single value could satisfy the equation in which it is 7,, i forgot the name of those types of equation.

CHECk:
5 + 8/4 = 28/4
5+2= 28/4
4*(7)= 28
28=28.
