2xy+4=8
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2xy=8-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
2xy=4
Subtract 4 from 8 to get 4.
2yx=4
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2yx}{2y}=\frac{4}{2y}
Divide both sides by 2y.
x=\frac{4}{2y}
Dividing by 2y undoes the multiplication by 2y.
x=\frac{2}{y}
Divide 4 by 2y.
2xy+4=8
