Solve 1/4+2y=2

$$\frac { 1 } { 4 } + 2 y = 2$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{7}{8}=0.875$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{1}{4} from both sides.

$$2y=2-\frac{1}{4}$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{8}{4}.

$$2y=\frac{8}{4}-\frac{1}{4}$$

Since \frac{8}{4} and \frac{1}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$2y=\frac{8-1}{4}$$

Subtract 1 from 8 to get 7.

$$2y=\frac{7}{4}$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$y=\frac{\frac{7}{4}}{2}$$

Express \frac{\frac{7}{4}}{2} as a single fraction.

$$y=\frac{7}{4\times 2}$$

Multiply 4 and 2 to get 8.

$$y=\frac{7}{8}$$
