Question

Solve the literal equation for yy. 8x−3=5+4y

Answer 1

I think the answer is...

y= 2x−2

Answer 2

The equation
`8x-3=5+4y` solved for
`y` is
`y=2x-2`

Explanation:

We have the following equation

`8x-3=5+4y`

To solve for
`y` you need to:

Switch sides

`5+4y=8x-3`

Subtract 5 from both sides

`5+4y-5=8x-3-5`

Simplify

`4y=8x-8`

Divide both sides by 4

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

Simplify

`y=2x-2`
