y_{1}=\frac{1}{4}x-1-12
Divide each term of x-4 by 4 to get \frac{1}{4}x-1.
y_{1}=\frac{1}{4}x-13
Subtract 12 from -1 to get -13.
\frac{1}{4}x-13=y_{1}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{1}{4}x=y_{1}+13
Add 13 to both sides.
\frac{\frac{1}{4}x}{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{y_{1}+13}{\frac{1}{4}}
Multiply both sides by 4.
x=\frac{y_{1}+13}{\frac{1}{4}}
Dividing by \frac{1}{4} undoes the multiplication by \frac{1}{4}.
x=4y_{1}+52
Divide y_{1}+13 by \frac{1}{4} by multiplying y_{1}+13 by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{4}.
