2\sqrt{4-x}=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{2\sqrt{-x+4}}{2}=\frac{y}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
\sqrt{-x+4}=\frac{y}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
-x+4=\frac{y^{2}}{4}
Square both sides of the equation.
-x+4-4=\frac{y^{2}}{4}-4
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.
-x=\frac{y^{2}}{4}-4
Subtracting 4 from itself leaves 0.
\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{\frac{y^{2}}{4}-4}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x=\frac{\frac{y^{2}}{4}-4}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
x=-\frac{y^{2}}{4}+4
Divide -4+\frac{y^{2}}{4} by -1.
