4\left(2x+1\right)=5y
Multiply both sides of the equation by 20, the least common multiple of 5,4.
8x+4=5y
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 2x+1.
8x=5y-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{5y-4}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
x=\frac{5y-4}{8}
Dividing by 8 undoes the multiplication by 8.
x=\frac{5y}{8}-\frac{1}{2}
Divide 5y-4 by 8.
4\left(2x+1\right)=5y
Multiply both sides of the equation by 20, the least common multiple of 5,4.
8x+4=5y
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 2x+1.
5y=8x+4
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{8x+4}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
y=\frac{8x+4}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
