Question 90805
Question:


x+2y=8
Solve for y.


Answer


x + 2y = 8


Subtract x from both sides of the equation.


==> x + 2y - x = 8 - x


==> 2y = 8 - x


Divide both sides by 2



==> {{{2y/2 = 8/2 - x/2 }}}



==>  {{{y = 4 - x/2}}}, which is the solution.



Hope you found the explanation useful.
