Solve -8x+2y=4

$$- 8 x + 2 y = 4$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{y-2}{4}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 2y from both sides.

$$-8x=4-2y$$

Divide both sides by -8.

$$\frac{-8x}{-8}=\frac{4-2y}{-8}$$

Dividing by -8 undoes the multiplication by -8.

$$x=\frac{4-2y}{-8}$$

Divide 4-2y by -8.

$$x=\frac{y}{4}-\frac{1}{2}$$

Solve for y

$$y=4x+2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 8x to both sides.

$$2y=4+8x$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$2y=8x+4$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{8x+4}{2}$$

Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.

$$y=\frac{8x+4}{2}$$

Divide 4+8x by 2.

$$y=4x+2$$
