Question

solve for y 4(x+2)+y=4

Answer 1

The given equation is

$4(x+2)+y=4$

We just have to subtract 4(x+2) from each side

$\begin{gathered} 4(x+2)-4(x+2)+y=4-4(x+2) \\ y=4-4(x+2) \end{gathered}$

Then, we use the distributive property

$\begin{gathered} y=4-4x-8 \\ y=-4x-4 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the answer is y = -4x - 4.
