All that's necessary is to add 4 to both sides of the equation. This gives
... y = 1/2(x -8) +4
If you like, you can simplify this by eliminating the parentheses and collecting terms.
... y = 1/2·x -4 +4
... y = (1/2)x
Unfortunately you have not included the directions. Are you supposed to solve for x? or for y?
Suppose the directions say, "Solve for x." Then, clear out the decimal fraction by mult. both sides of the given equation by 10. This will give you the solution, that is, a formula for x in terms of y.
Answer:
f=ab/a+b
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve for f.
1/f=1/a+1/b
