Algebra.Com's Answer #374742 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4x - 4y = 1 I. Need the solution for y. \n" ); document.write( "use the rules of algebra to isolate y \n" ); document.write( "Add 4y to both sides \n" ); document.write( "4x - 4y + 4y = 1 + 4y \n" ); document.write( "4x = 4y + 1 \n" ); document.write( "Subtract 1 from both sides \n" ); document.write( "4x - 1 = 4y + 1 - 1 \n" ); document.write( "4x - 1 = 4y \n" ); document.write( "y has to have coefficient of 1, divide both sides by 4 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "which gives you \n" ); document.write( "1x - \n" ); document.write( "or we can just write it \n" ); document.write( "x - \n" ); document.write( "usually written \n" ); document.write( "y = x - \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Don't be discouraged, it's really not that hard, just remember whatever you do to one side of an equation, do the same to the other side \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
