4x - 4y = 1 I. Need the solution for y. How am I going to make it through this term it is only week three? Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4x - 4y = 1 I. Need the solution for y.
use the rules of algebra to isolate y
Add 4y to both sides
4x - 4y + 4y = 1 + 4y
4x = 4y + 1
Subtract 1 from both sides
4x - 1 = 4y + 1 - 1
4x - 1 = 4y
y has to have coefficient of 1, divide both sides by 4 x - = y
which gives you
1x - = 1y
or we can just write it
x - = y
usually written
y = x -

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
