2y+4x+5=20+4x-2y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since -2y contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the equation by adding 2y to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "2y+4x+5+2y=4x+20\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since 2y and 2y are like terms, add 2y to 2y to get 4y.
\n" ); document.write( "4y+4x+5=4x+20\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Move all terms not containing y to the right-hand side of the equation.
\n" ); document.write( "4y=-4x-5+4x+20\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify the right-hand side of the equation.
\n" ); document.write( "4y=15\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide each term in the equation by 4.
\n" ); document.write( "(4y)/(4)=(15)/(4)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
\n" ); document.write( "y=(15)/(4)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To find the slope and y intercept, use the y=mx+b formula where m=slope and b is the y intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Using the y=mx+b formula, m=0 and b=(15)/(4).
\n" ); document.write( "m=0, b=(15)/(4) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
