Question

Given the equation 2x+2/y=4w+2 what is the value of x?

Answer 1

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

Our goal is to isolate x.

First we subtract $\frac{2}{y}$ on both sides of the equation.

$2x=4w+2- \frac{2}{y}$

Then divide 2 on both sides.

$2x= 4wy+2y-2$

Then divide 2 on both sides.

$x= \frac{2wy+y-1}{y}$
