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