Answer:
Simplifying
8x + -4y = 24
Solving
8x + -4y = 24
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '4y' to each side of the equation.
8x + -4y + 4y = 24 + 4y
Combine like terms: -4y + 4y = 0
8x + 0 = 24 + 4y
8x = 24 + 4y
Divide each side by '8'.
x = 3 + 0.5y
Simplifying
x = 3 + 0.5y
God bless you and have a beautiful rest of your day!
