Solve x=y+8/2

$$x = \frac { y + 8 } { 2 }$$

Solve for y

$$y=2\left(x-4\right)$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide each term of y+8 by 2 to get \frac{1}{2}y+4.

$$x=\frac{1}{2}y+4$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$\frac{1}{2}y+4=x$$

Subtract 4 from both sides.

$$\frac{1}{2}y=x-4$$

Multiply both sides by 2.

$$\frac{\frac{1}{2}y}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{x-4}{\frac{1}{2}}$$

Dividing by \frac{1}{2} undoes the multiplication by \frac{1}{2}.

$$y=\frac{x-4}{\frac{1}{2}}$$

Divide x-4 by \frac{1}{2} by multiplying x-4 by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{2}.

$$y=2x-8$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{y+8}{2}$$

Solution Steps

Divide each term of y+8 by 2 to get \frac{1}{2}y+4.

$$x=\frac{1}{2}y+4$$
