ANSWER

y = 6 - 4x

Step-by-step explanation

We have the formula:

16x + 4y = 24

To solve it for y, we have to make y the subject of the formula by simply isolating it on one side.

That is:

16x + 4y = 24

=> 4y = 24 - 16x

Divide through by 4:


\begin{gathered} (4)/(4)y\text{ = }(24)/(4)\text{ - }(16)/(4)x \\ \Rightarrow\text{ y = 6 - 4x} \end{gathered}

We have solved it for y.
