Answer:


(2x + 5 + 1)/(4) = y

Explanation:

2x + 5 = 4y - 1

We are isolating the variable y, so we are trying to move all of the other numbers over to one side while leaving the y.

First, we can add 1 to both sides.

2x + 5 + 1 = 4y

Divide by 4 on both sides.


(2x + 5 + 1)/(4) = y

Answer:

y= (2x+6)/4

Explanation:

we can simplify the equation by moving the -1:

2x+6=4y

then we just divide by 4 both sides and get y, we can't do anything else since we are not given x
