I've done these problems a million times, and I'm still not getting them. Here's my current problem:
3/2y-y=4+ 1/2y
I've gotten to this point:
1/2y=4+1/2y
I'm stuck! I don't remember how to figure out the rest. I'm homeschooled, and my dad takes care of algebra. He's tried time and time again, and I still don't understand how to solve this problem. I've read, re-read, and re-re-read. Can anyone clue me in as to what to do next? Thanks!
Edit: I thought that I could combine my 1/2y together, so I tried that-and I got that I have to subtract 1/2y from each side, which leaves me with y=4. However, dad says this isn't the answer. SO, to add to my plea above, what did I do wrong?
