Question

4x = -2y

Solve for y
I am confused about how to solve this. Can somebody please help step by step?

Answer 1

Your answer is y = -2x

Explanation:

-2y = 4x Divide both sides by -2

(-2 / -2) y = 4x/-2 Simplify

y = -2x

Answer 2

Explanation:

The answer does not mean that you will have a pure number. Divide by -2

4x/-2 = y Combine

-2x = y That's all you can do. You are finished.
