Solve y=1/4(2)-6

$$y = \frac { 1 } { 4 } ( 2 ) - 6$$

Solve for y

$$y = -\frac{11}{2} = -5\frac{1}{2} = -5.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply \frac{1}{4} and 2 to get \frac{2}{4}.

$$y=\frac{2}{4}-6$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$y=\frac{1}{2}-6$$

Convert 6 to fraction \frac{12}{2}.

$$y=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{12}{2}$$

Since \frac{1}{2} and \frac{12}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$y=\frac{1-12}{2}$$

Subtract 12 from 1 to get -11.

$$y=-\frac{11}{2}$$

Assign y

$$y≔-\frac{11}{2}$$
