Question: Solve for $y$.
$\frac{y}{4} + 7 = 10$
y = [?] (center)
1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $$\frac{y}{4} + 7 = 10$$ for $y$.
2. **Isolate the term with $y$:** Subtract 7 from both sides:
$$\frac{y}{4} + 7 - 7 = 10 - 7$$
$$\frac{y}{4} = 3$$
3. **Solve for $y$:** Multiply both sides by 4 to cancel the denominator:
$$\cancel{4} \times \frac{y}{\cancel{4}} = 3 \times 4$$
$$y = 12$$
4. **Final answer:**
$$y = 12$$
