Use the number properties to isolate y, to have y on one side and all other quantities on the other side. Undo everything that was done to y; and do the same thing on both sides of the equality.

Please help me solve this equation, solve for y : x=%282y-z%29%2F4


x+=+%282y+-+z%29%2F4

2y - z = 4x ------ Cross-multiplying

2y = 4x + z

highlight_green%28y+=+%284x+%2B+z%29%2F2%29
