Question

$$2xy=8$$

Solve for x

$x=\frac{4}{y}$
$y\neq 0$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

The equation is in standard form.

$$2yx=8$$

Divide both sides by $2y$.

$$\frac{2yx}{2y}=\frac{8}{2y}$$

Dividing by $2y$ undoes the multiplication by $2y$.

$$x=\frac{8}{2y}$$

Divide $8$ by $2y$.

$$x=\frac{4}{y}$$

Show Solution

Solve for y
