Simplifying
4 + -1y = 0

Solving
4 + -1y = 0

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + -1y = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + -1y = 0 + -4
-1y = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
-1y = -4

Divide each side by '-1'.
y = 4

Simplifying
y = 4
Solution
y = {-12, 4}
