y.8x-4y=-16Y=?x+To solve for y in the equation 8x - 4y = -16, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 8x from both sides of the equation. 8x - 4y = -16 -4y = -16 - 8x Next, we can simplify the right side of the equation by factoring out -8. -4y = -8(2 + x) Finally, we can solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by -4. y = 2 + 0.5x So the solution for y in terms of x is y = 2 + 0.5x.
