Answer:

y=

3x/8x+2

Explanation:

1

2x

3

4y

=−2

Step 1: Multiply both sides by 4xy.

−3x+2y=−8xy

Step 2: Add 8xy to both sides.

−3x+2y+8xy=−8xy+8xy

8xy−3x+2y=0

Step 3: Add 3x to both sides.

8xy−3x+2y+3x=0+3x

8xy+2y=3x

Step 4: Factor out variable y.

y(8x+2)=3x

Step 5: Divide both sides by 8x+2.

y(8x+2)

8x+2

=

3x

8x+2

y=

3x

8x+2

Answer:

y=

3x/8x+2
