To solve the equation [tex]\( 4y + 228 = 352 \)[/tex], we'll follow a step-by-step approach:
1. Start with the given equation:
[tex]\[
4y + 228 = 352
\][/tex]
2. Isolate the term containing [tex]\( y \)[/tex]:
Subtract 228 from both sides of the equation to get rid of the constant term on the left side.
[tex]\[
4y + 228 - 228 = 352 - 228
\][/tex]
3. Simplify both sides of the equation:
[tex]\[
4y = 124
\][/tex]
4. Solve for [tex]\( y \)[/tex]:
Divide both sides of the equation by 4.
[tex]\[
\frac{4y}{4} = \frac{124}{4}
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
y = 31
\][/tex]
So, the solution to the equation [tex]\( 4y + 228 = 352 \)[/tex] is [tex]\( y = 31 \)[/tex].
Thus, the best answer for the given question is:
A. [tex]\( y = 31 \)[/tex]
