Solve y+4=24(x+10)

$$y+4=24(x+10)$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{y-236}{24}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 24 by x+10.

$$y+4=24x+240$$

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

$$24x+240=y+4$$

Subtract 240 from both sides.

$$24x=y+4-240$$

Subtract 240 from 4 to get -236.

$$24x=y-236$$

Divide both sides by 24.

$$\frac{24x}{24}=\frac{y-236}{24}$$

Dividing by 24 undoes the multiplication by 24.

$$x=\frac{y-236}{24}$$

Divide y-236 by 24.

$$x=\frac{y}{24}-\frac{59}{6}$$

Solve for y

$$y=24x+236$$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply 24 by x+10.

$$y+4=24x+240$$

Subtract 4 from both sides.

$$y=24x+240-4$$

Subtract 4 from 240 to get 236.

$$y=24x+236$$
