Question

Solve for y.2x – 8y = 24

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{4}x-3$

Explanation:

Given the equation:

$2x-8y=24$

To solve for y, we follow the steps below:

Step 1: Rearrange to Isolate the term containing y.

$8y=2x-24$

Step 2: Divide both sides by 8.

$\begin{gathered} \frac{8y}{8}=\frac{2x-24}{8} \\ y=\frac{2x-24}{8} \end{gathered}$

Step 3: Simplify

$\begin{gathered} y=\frac{2x}{8}-\frac{24}{8} \\ y=\frac{1}{4}x-3 \end{gathered}$
