4x+8y-x=-y
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x+2y.
3x+8y=-y
Combine 4x and -x to get 3x.
3x=-y-8y
Subtract 8y from both sides.
3x=-9y
Combine -y and -8y to get -9y.
\frac{3x}{3}=-\frac{9y}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=-\frac{9y}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
x=-3y
Divide -9y by 3.
4x+8y-x=-y
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x+2y.
3x+8y=-y
Combine 4x and -x to get 3x.
3x+8y+y=0
Add y to both sides.
3x+9y=0
Combine 8y and y to get 9y.
9y=-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\frac{9y}{9}=-\frac{3x}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
y=-\frac{3x}{9}
Dividing by 9 undoes the multiplication by 9.
y=-\frac{x}{3}
Divide -3x by 9.
