Question

Express y in terms of x. 0.5y - 2 = 0.25x

Answer 1

y = 0.5x + 4

Explanation:

1. Move terms to one side of the equation

0.5y - 2= 0.25x +0

+2 +2

__________________

0.5y = 0.25x + 2

2. Divide the coefficient of y (0.5) to both sides of the equation

`(0.5y)/(0.5) = (0.25x)/(0.5) + (2)/(0.5)`

3. Solve and simifpy

`y = 0.5x +4`
