Question

-2x + y = -4

Need help asap

Answer 1

Hey :)

If you are solving for x, the answer is: x = y/2 + 2

-2x + y = -4

Subtract y from both sides

−2x = −4 − y

The equation is in standard form:

−2x = − y −4

Divide both sides by −2:

-2x/-2 = -y - 4/-2

Dividing by −2 undoes the multiplication by −2

x = -y -4/-2

Divide −4 −y by −2

x = y/2 + 2

However, if you are solving for y, the answer is: y = −4 + 2x

−2x + y = −4

Add 2x to both sides:

y = −4 + 2x

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

y = 2x - 4

Explanation:

Can I ask which variable you are solving?

PS I will assume you need the formula y=mx+b

-2x + y = - 4

Here you would translate the m and x variables to the right side making them positive.

y = 2x - 4

Now the formula is in proper form
