Question

Solve for y
-8x+2y= -24

Answer 1

y = -12 + 4x

Explanation:

1. Add 8x to both sides of the equation.

2y = -24 + 8x

2. Divide each term in 2y = -24 + 8x by 2, then simplify.

• Simplify left side: cancel the common factor of 2

y = -24/2 + 8x/2

• Simplify right side: 2y/2 = -24/2 + 8x

y = -12 + 4x
