4+5yx=8x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
4+5yx-8x=0
Subtract 8x from both sides.
5yx-8x=-4
Subtract 4 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(5y-8\right)x=-4
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(5y-8\right)x}{5y-8}=-\frac{4}{5y-8}
Divide both sides by 5y-8.
x=-\frac{4}{5y-8}
Dividing by 5y-8 undoes the multiplication by 5y-8.
x=-\frac{4}{5y-8}\text{, }x\neq 0
Variable x cannot be equal to 0.
4+5yx=8x
Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
5yx=8x-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
5xy=8x-4
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{5xy}{5x}=\frac{8x-4}{5x}
Divide both sides by 5x.
y=\frac{8x-4}{5x}
Dividing by 5x undoes the multiplication by 5x.
y=\frac{8}{5}-\frac{4}{5x}
Divide 8x-4 by 5x.
