Answer 2

I don't know how to that

Answer 3

First you simplify it so...

x - 4y - 4 - 5=0
So using the distributive property.

Answer 4

whats the next step to do?

Simplify the numbers so do -4 - 5 and write it out.

Answer 6

i got -9 for that

Answer 7

Good!

Answer 8

so whats next

Answer 9

So, now you have x - 4y - 9=0.
We have to get the y alone.
So, now we add x to both sides.

Answer 10

After, we have -4y - 9= -x

Answer 11

thats what i got lol

Answer 12

Good!

Answer 13

Now, we need to add 9 to both sides.
To get 4y = -x + 9

Answer 14

is there still a negative in front of the 4y?

Answer 15

Yes, sorry

Answer 16

We have now -4y = -x + 9

Answer 17

okay. lol

Answer 18

i got -13

Answer 19

Next, we divide everything by 4.

Answer 20
