Question

Solve the equation for y in terms of x. 4x + 2y = 8

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 4 , x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 2y =8----------equ{1}

make 4x subject of the formula

4x = 8- 2y.................equ(2)

now, substitute 4x into equ{1}

4(8-2y) + 2y = 8

32 - 8y + 2y = 8

Collect like terms

-8y + 2y = 8 - 32

-6y = -24

divide both sides by -6

y = 4

Substitute y into equ(2)

4x = 8-2(4)

4x = 8 - 8

4x = 0

divide both sides by 4

x = o

CHECK

4(0) + 2(4) =8

0 + 8 = 8
