Solve -8x+4y=1/2

$$-8x+4y= \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{y}{2}-\frac{1}{16}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 4y from both sides.

$$-8x=\frac{1}{2}-4y$$

Divide both sides by -8.

$$\frac{-8x}{-8}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}-4y}{-8}$$

Dividing by -8 undoes the multiplication by -8.

$$x=\frac{\frac{1}{2}-4y}{-8}$$

Divide \frac{1}{2}-4y by -8.

$$x=\frac{y}{2}-\frac{1}{16}$$

Solve for y

$$y=2x+\frac{1}{8}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 8x to both sides.

$$4y=\frac{1}{2}+8x$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$4y=8x+\frac{1}{2}$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{8x+\frac{1}{2}}{4}$$

Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.

$$y=\frac{8x+\frac{1}{2}}{4}$$

Divide \frac{1}{2}+8x by 4.

$$y=2x+\frac{1}{8}$$
