Question

Solve for y. py+qy=-4y+8

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = \frac{8}{(p+q+4)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$py+qy=-4y+8$

start by adding 4y to each side, so you get

$py+qy+4y=8$

then pull the y out of each term on the left (factoring, reverse distribution)

$y(p+q+4) = 8$

now you can divide by the stuff in paretheses to get y by itself

$y = \frac{8}{(p+q+4)}$
