Answer:

x = − 4y + 16

x = − 6y + 24

Explanation:

Let's solve for x.

x + 4y = 16

Step 1: Add -4y to both sides.

x + 4y + − 4y = 16 + − 4y

x = − 4y + 16

Answer:

x = − 4y + 16

Let's solve for x.

2x + 12y = 48

Step 1: Add -12y to both sides.

2x + 12y + − 12y = 48 + − 12y/2x= − 12y + 48

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2 = − 12y + 48/2x = − 6y + 24

Answer: x = − 6y + 24
