Solve 4x-4y=5

$$4 x - 4 y = 5$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{5}{4} = 1\frac{1}{4} = 1.25$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 4y to both sides.

$$4x=5+4y$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$4x=4y+5$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{4y+5}{4}$$

Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.

$$x=\frac{4y+5}{4}$$

Divide 5+4y by 4.

$$x=y+\frac{5}{4}$$

Solve for y

$$y = -\frac{5}{4} = -1\frac{1}{4} = -1.25$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 4x from both sides.

$$-4y=5-4x$$

Divide both sides by -4.

$$\frac{-4y}{-4}=\frac{5-4x}{-4}$$

Dividing by -4 undoes the multiplication by -4.

$$y=\frac{5-4x}{-4}$$

Divide 5-4x by -4.

$$y=x-\frac{5}{4}$$
