Hi!
I can help you, no worries!
Your answer is y = -4/5x - 3
To solve this is much easier than you think. To "solve for y" we just have to get y on one side of the equal sign all by itself. We can see that it's "1 + y" on the left instead of just the y.
To get y by itself, we just subtract "1" from both sides.
1 + y = -4/5x - 2
-1 -1
y = -4/5x - 3
If you don't know why we have to subtract from both sides, think of it like this (it's how I like to think of it).
Each side of the equal sign is a twin. They are equal to eachother. If you change something about one twin, such as changing their hair color (or adding a number to one side of the equal sign), you have to do it to both in order for them to be the same. Right?
Hope this helps! Have a great day! :D
