4\left(x+2\right)+0-2y\left(x-2\right)+2yy=-y
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4y, the least common multiple of y,2,4.
4x+8+0-2y\left(x-2\right)+2yy=-y
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x+2.
4x+8-2y\left(x-2\right)+2yy=-y
Add 8 and 0 to get 8.
4x+8-\left(2yx-4y\right)+2yy=-y
Use the distributive property to multiply 2y by x-2.
4x+8-2yx+4y+2yy=-y
To find the opposite of 2yx-4y, find the opposite of each term.
4x+8-2yx+4y+2y^{2}=-y
Multiply y and y to get y^{2}.
4x-2yx+4y+2y^{2}=-y-8
Subtract 8 from both sides.
4x-2yx+2y^{2}=-y-8-4y
Subtract 4y from both sides.
4x-2yx+2y^{2}=-5y-8
Combine -y and -4y to get -5y.
4x-2yx=-5y-8-2y^{2}
Subtract 2y^{2} from both sides.
\left(4-2y\right)x=-5y-8-2y^{2}
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(4-2y\right)x=-2y^{2}-5y-8
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(4-2y\right)x}{4-2y}=\frac{-2y^{2}-5y-8}{4-2y}
Divide both sides by -2y+4.
x=\frac{-2y^{2}-5y-8}{4-2y}
Dividing by -2y+4 undoes the multiplication by -2y+4.
x=-\frac{2y^{2}+5y+8}{2\left(2-y\right)}
Divide -5y-8-2y^{2} by -2y+4.
