Question

$$y-8=-4x$$

Solve for x

$x=-\frac{y}{4}+2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$-4x=y-8$$

Divide both sides by $-4$.

$$\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{y-8}{-4}$$

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

$$x=\frac{y-8}{-4}$$

Divide $y-8$ by $-4$.

$$x=-\frac{y}{4}+2$$

Solve for y

$y=8-4x$
