-8x=4y-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-8x}{-8}=\frac{4y-1}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
x=\frac{4y-1}{-8}
Dividing by -8 undoes the multiplication by -8.
x=-\frac{y}{2}+\frac{1}{8}
Divide 4y-1 by -8.
4y-1=-8x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
4y=-8x+1
Add 1 to both sides.
4y=1-8x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{1-8x}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
y=\frac{1-8x}{4}
Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.
y=\frac{1}{4}-2x
Divide -8x+1 by 4.
