Solve 2y+4x=-20

$$2 y + 4 x = - 20$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{y}{2}-5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 2y from both sides.

$$4x=-20-2y$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$4x=-2y-20$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{-2y-20}{4}$$

Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.

$$x=\frac{-2y-20}{4}$$

Divide -20-2y by 4.

$$x=-\frac{y}{2}-5$$

Solve for y

$$y=-2x-10$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 4x from both sides.

$$2y=-20-4x$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$2y=-4x-20$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{-4x-20}{2}$$

Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.

$$y=\frac{-4x-20}{2}$$

Divide -20-4x by 2.

$$y=-2x-10$$
