ADD 12 to both sides
-12+12+4y=2+12
0+4y=14
4y=14
divide by 4
y=14/4
simplify
y=7/2
or
y=3 1/2

-12 + 4y = 2
take the -12 and put it under the 2, since its on the opposite side, it becomes a positive.
4y = 2 + 12
u then add the two numbers on the right side.
4y = 14
u then divide everything by 4 since u need to get the y value.
4y =14
---- ---
4 4
the two 4's get canceled out because 4 divided by 4 gives u 1 so y is left alone.
y = 14
---
4
to make to easier u can brake it down: 14 divided by 4 is 3.5, u know this because 4 goes into 14 three times which gives u the sum of 12 and have two left over. this means its half.
so ur answer would be.....
y = 3.5

-12 + 4y = 2.
add the 12 to the 2 = 14.
divide that answer by the 4 = 3.5.
so y = 3.5.

add 12 to both sides
4y = 14
divide by 4 on both sides
y = 14/4 = 7/2 or 3 1/2 or 3.5
