x+6-4x=-8+y
Subtract 4x from both sides.
-3x+6=-8+y
Combine x and -4x to get -3x.
-3x=-8+y-6
Subtract 6 from both sides.
-3x=-14+y
Subtract 6 from -8 to get -14.
-3x=y-14
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{y-14}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=\frac{y-14}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
x=\frac{14-y}{3}
Divide -14+y by -3.
4x-8+y=x+6
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-8+y=x+6-4x
Subtract 4x from both sides.
-8+y=-3x+6
Combine x and -4x to get -3x.
y=-3x+6+8
