Question

$$x-4y=-4$$

Solve for y

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

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $x$ from both sides.

$$-4y=-4-x$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$-4y=-x-4$$

Divide both sides by $-4$.

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

Dividing by $-4$ undoes the multiplication by $-4$.

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

Divide $-4-x$ by $-4$.

$$y=\frac{x}{4}+1$$
