SOLUTION: I was to rewrite the equation as a function of x and this is what I came up with but I cannot figure out which method is right.
2x - 8y = 48
2x + 8y = 2x

Question 48126: I was to rewrite the equation as a function of x and this is what I came up with but I cannot figure out which method is right.
2x - 8y = 48
2x + 8y = 2x+48
8y = 2x + 48
8 8 8
y = 2x + 6
8
f(x) = 2x + 6

Add 8y to both sides of the equation. Now subtract 48 from both sides. Finally, divide both sides by 8. Or:
