Certainly! Let's solve the equation step-by-step:
### Step 1: Start with the Given Equation
[tex]\[ 6y - 4 = 20 \][/tex]
### Step 2: Add 4 to Both Sides
To isolate the term involving [tex]\( y \)[/tex], we add 4 to both sides of the equation:
[tex]\[ 6y - 4 + 4 = 20 + 4 \][/tex]
Simplifying both sides, we get:
[tex]\[ 6y = 24 \][/tex]
### Step 3: Divide Both Sides by 6
To solve for [tex]\( y \)[/tex], we need to divide both sides of the equation by 6:
[tex]\[ \frac{6y}{6} = \frac{24}{6} \][/tex]
Simplifying both sides, we get:
[tex]\[ y = 4 \][/tex]
So, the solution to the equation is:
[tex]\[ y = 4 \][/tex]
Let's summarize the entire process in the format provided:
[tex]\[
\begin{array}{r}
6y - 4 = 20 \\
+4 + 4 \\
\hline \\
6y = 24 \\
\frac{6y}{6} = \frac{24}{6} \\
y = 4
\end{array}
\][/tex]
This shows the complete step-by-step solution to the equation.
