Question

2x -1/4y = 1 Solve the equation for y.

Answer 1

Given:

Given the equation

`2x-(1)/(4)y=1`

Required: Solve for y.

Explanation:

Subtract 2x on both sides.

`\begin{gathered} 2x-(1)/(4)y-2x=1-2x \\ -(1)/(4)y=1-2x \end{gathered}`

Multiply both sides by -4.

`\begin{gathered} y=-4(1-2x) \\ =4(2x-1) \end{gathered}`

Final Answer: y = 4(2x - 1)
