Question

Can someone help me solve this and explain step by step algebraically
1/8x+1/4y=2

Answer 1

`x=16-2y`

Explanation:

`\mathrm{Subtract\:}(1)/(4)y\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}`

`(1)/(8)x+(1)/(4)y-(1)/(4)y=2-(1)/(4)y`

`\mathrm{Simplify}`

`(1)/(8)x=2-(1)/(4)y`

`\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}8`

`8\cdot (1)/(8)x=8\cdot \:2-8\cdot (1)/(4)y`

`\mathrm{Simplify}`

`x=16-2y`

Final Answer:
`x=16-2y`
