x+4y-\frac{1}{4}x=-4y
Subtract \frac{1}{4}x from both sides.
\frac{3}{4}x+4y=-4y
Combine x and -\frac{1}{4}x to get \frac{3}{4}x.
\frac{3}{4}x=-4y-4y
Subtract 4y from both sides.
\frac{3}{4}x=-8y
Combine -4y and -4y to get -8y.
\frac{\frac{3}{4}x}{\frac{3}{4}}=-\frac{8y}{\frac{3}{4}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{3}{4}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=-\frac{8y}{\frac{3}{4}}
Dividing by \frac{3}{4} undoes the multiplication by \frac{3}{4}.
x=-\frac{32y}{3}
Divide -8y by \frac{3}{4} by multiplying -8y by the reciprocal of \frac{3}{4}.
x+4y+4y=\frac{1}{4}x
Add 4y to both sides.
x+8y=\frac{1}{4}x
Combine 4y and 4y to get 8y.
8y=\frac{1}{4}x-x
Subtract x from both sides.
8y=-\frac{3}{4}x
Combine \frac{1}{4}x and -x to get -\frac{3}{4}x.
8y=-\frac{3x}{4}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{8y}{8}=-\frac{\frac{3x}{4}}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
y=-\frac{\frac{3x}{4}}{8}
Dividing by 8 undoes the multiplication by 8.
y=-\frac{3x}{32}
Divide -\frac{3x}{4} by 8.
