Hi there,

I hope you and your family are doing well!

Let's solve Y


4x - 4y = 24

We gonna start by adding
-4x to both sides


4x - 4y + -4x = 24 + -4x


-4y = -4x + 24

Since we're solving for y, now we just need to divide both sides by -4


(-4y)/(-4) = (-4x+24)/(-4)


y = x - 6

The answer is:
y = x-6

All the best this semester!

Answer:

y = x - 6

Explanation:

4x-4y=24

Subtract 4x to both sides

4x -4x -4y=24 -4x

-4y = 24 -4x

Divide by -4 to both sides

-4y ÷-4 = 24 ÷-4 -4x ÷-4

y = x - 6

Have a lovely rest of your day! :)
