If you mean power,

4^(1/2) = sqrt(4)

sqrt(4) – y = 4

y = sqrt(4) – 4

y = 2 – 4

y = -2

if it’s a fraction

4 and 1/2 = 9/2

9/2 – y = 4

9 – 2y = 8

2y = 8 – 9

y = 1/2

4 1/2 – y = 4

1. 4 1/2 – y = 4 Subtract 4 1/2 from both sides of the equation

-4 1/2 – 4 1/2

———- ———

0 1/2

2. y = 1/2 This is what you are left with

3. y = 1/2 is the answer

One way is this

41/2 = 8/2

9/2 – y = 4

subtract 9/2 from both sides

-y = -1/2

y = 1/2

4½ – y=4; add y to the other sides to make it positive

4 1/2 = 4 + y; subtract 4 from both sides

1/2 = y (done!)

u hav to subtract 41/2 from both sides

41/2 -y = 4

-41/2 -41/2

y= -1/2
