Question

Solve the following for y: 4x + 2y = −2 (5 points)

y = −2x + 1


y = 2x + 1


y = −2x − 1


y = 2x − 1

Answer 1

y = -2x - 1

Explanation:

4x + 2y = -2

→ Minus 4x from both sides

2y = -4x - 2

→ Divide both sides by 2

y = -2x - 1

Answer 2

Explanation:

4x + 2y = −2

Divide by two on both sides

2x+y = -1

subtract 2x from both sides

y = -1 -2x = -2x -1
