4x-8=y
Add y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
4x=y+8
Add 8 to both sides.
\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{y+8}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=\frac{y+8}{4}
Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.
x=\frac{y}{4}+2
Divide y+8 by 4.
-y-8=-4x
Subtract 4x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-y=-4x+8
Add 8 to both sides.
-y=8-4x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{8-4x}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
y=\frac{8-4x}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
y=4x-8
Divide -4x+8 by -1.
