Question

x-2y=8
can i get help on trying to find the answer

Answer 1

i love this

Answer 2

what are you solving for?

Answer 3

can you help me out i kinda suck at math

Answer 4

x and y

Answer 5

im sovling for y

Answer 6

First, change it to slope-intercept form:

x-2y=8 (subtract x from both sides)
-2y=8-x (divide both sides by -2)
y=-4+.5x (rearrange the right side)
y=.5x-4

Your .5 x, or 1/2, is your slope. It's rise over run. The -4 is your y-intercept. So, go to the point (0,-4). From there, go up one, over to the right two, up one, over to the right two.

That's how you graph the equation. =)

Answer 7

x-2y=8
-2y=8-x
2y=-8+x
y=-4+1/2x
y=1/2x-4

Answer 8

thom WHT?? is That

Answer 9

thom WHT?? is That

Answer 10

is that what you r doing

Answer 11

i thinks so let me see

Answer 12

ok if not i will try agine

Answer 13

on my paper it just says x-2y=8 im not graphing anything and im solving for y

Answer 14

ok i am srry

Answer 15

i will try agine

Answer 16

ok

Answer 17

ok her we go Do as follows:

2x + 2y = 8

Notice that you have a common factor of 2, therefore divide everything by 2

2x/2 + 2y/2 = 8/2

Which then becomes:

x + y = 4

Now substract x from both sides to isolate the y:

x + y - x = 4 - x
x - x + y = 4 - x; collecting like terms
0 + y = 4 - x
y = 4 - x

REMEMBER: That when you are trying to remove a term from one side do the opposite on BOTH sides. Here I eliminated the x by substracting x on both sides.
