To solve the equation [tex]\(4y + 228 = 352\)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. Start with the given equation:
[tex]\[
4y + 228 = 352
\][/tex]
2. Begin by isolating the term containing [tex]\(y\)[/tex]. To do this, subtract 228 from both sides of the equation:
[tex]\[
4y + 228 - 228 = 352 - 228
\][/tex]
Simplifying this, we get:
[tex]\[
4y = 124
\][/tex]
3. Now, to solve for [tex]\(y\)[/tex], divide both sides of the equation by 4:
[tex]\[
y = \frac{124}{4}
\][/tex]
4. Perform the division:
[tex]\[
y = 31
\][/tex]
Thus, the solution to the equation [tex]\(4y + 228 = 352\)[/tex] is [tex]\(y = 31\)[/tex].
Therefore, the best answer is:
B. [tex]\(y = 31\)[/tex]
