You want to isolate x so first, you have to multiply the whole equation by 1/4 so it will look like 1/4(2y+4/x=10). Simplify this to get 1/2y+x=5/2. You want to isolate x, so you have to subtract 1/2 from each side, this will make the equation x=5/2-1/2. Simplify this to get x=4/2 which can also be simplified to x=2. Therefore, the answer is x=2
To get y by itself subtract 2x from both sides. The left side becomes 3y=12-2x. Then divide by 3 on both sides to get y by itself. Which you get y=4-(2/3)x
