4y-8=2x+12
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by y-2.
2x+12=4y-8
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2x=4y-8-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
2x=4y-20
Subtract 12 from -8 to get -20.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{4y-20}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{4y-20}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
x=2y-10
Divide -20+4y by 2.
4y-8=2x+12
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by y-2.
4y=2x+12+8
Add 8 to both sides.
4y=2x+20
Add 12 and 8 to get 20.
\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{2x+20}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
y=\frac{2x+20}{4}
Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.
y=\frac{x}{2}+5
Divide 20+2x by 4.
