How do I solve the equation \(2y - 4 = 10\)?<|im_end|>

To solve the equation \(2y - 4 = 10\), follow these steps:  
1. Add 4 to both sides to eliminate the constant on the left:  
   \(2y - 4 + 4 = 10 + 4\)  
   This simplifies to \(2y = 14\).  
2. Next, divide both sides by 2 to isolate \(y\):  
   \(\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{14}{2}\)  
   This gives us \(y = 7\).<|im_end|>

To solve the equation \(2y - 4 = 10\), we start with the original equation. First, we look at the left side, which is \(2y - 4\), and we have to get rid of the \(-4\) to make it a little easier to work with. So we add 4 to both sides, which gives us \(2y - 4 + 4 = 10 + 4\). Now let's think about that step: we've added 4 to both sides, and we can see that on the left side, the \(-4\) and \(+4\) cancel each other out. So we have \(2y = 14\). Now we need to get \(y\) by itself, so we divide both sides by 2. This is similar to the last step we did, but now we're just focusing on \(2y\), and dividing that by 2 gives us \(y\). So, dividing \(14\) by \(2\) gives us \(7\). So, we have \(y = 7\). And that's how we solve for \(y\).<|im_end|>
