y=24

We need to get the y alone. In order to cancel out division, we use multiplication, so we multiply both sides by 2 to get that y-4=20. We now cancel out the subtraction by adding 4 on both sides, giving us a final answer of y=24. We plug 24 in for y and confirm that our answer is, indeed, correct.
