Question

Solve 4x−5=7+4y for y.

Answer 1

y = x - 3

Explanation:

Given equation,

4x - 5 = 7 + 4y

For finding the equation for y,

We need to isolate y in the left side of the equation,

Now,

Add 5 on the both sides of the above equation,

4x = 7 + 4y + 5

Subtract 4y on the both sides,

4x - 4y = 12

Subtract 4x on both sides,

-4y = 12 - 4x

Divide both sides by -4,

`y=x-3`

Answer 2

4x−5=7+4y

subtract 7 from both side

4x - 5 -7 = 4y

4x -12 = 4y

divide by 4

4x/4 -12/4 = 4y/4

x-3=y
