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