Question

Solve the equation for the indicated variable.
1. y= 3/8 (x+4) for x​

Answer 1

x=8y/3-4

Explanation:

What we have to do to solve for X into re arrange the equation so that X is by itself on one side of the equation. To start we will divide both sides by 3/8 to move it away from the X side and we get

8y/3=x+4 then we will subtract both sides by 4 to get x all by itself

8y/3-4=x

I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything still unclear!

Answer 2

`\large\boxed{x=(8)/(3)y-4}`

Explanation:

`(3)/(8)(x+4)=y\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 8}\\\\8\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot(3)/(8\!\!\!\!\diagup_1)(x+4)=8y\\\\3(x+4)=8y\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\(3(x+4))/(3)=(8y)/(3)\\\\x+4=(8)/(3)y\qquad\text{subtract 4 from both sides}\\\\x=(8)/(3)y-4`
