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