Answer 2

well start by adding 4y to both sides of the equation

then add 4 to both sides of the equation... what do you get..?

Answer 3

I dont get it?

Answer 4

Answer 5

ok.... x - 4y = -4
+4y +4y
--------------
x = -4 + 4y

next add 4

x = - 4 + 4y
+4 +4
----------------
x + 4 = 4y

or

4y = x + 4

lastly divide both sides by 4...

Answer 6

y = x + 1

Answer 7

nearly \[y = \frac{1}{4} x + 1\]

now put each x value in to get y

start with x = -2

\[y = \frac{1}{4} \times -2 + 1 \]

so

\[y = \frac{1}{2}\]

repeat it for x = 4 and x = 6

Answer 8

Is this an X or times ^^^ Y = 1/4 x -2 + 1 ????

Answer 9

in this part is times... I've replaced x with -2

Answer 10

Y = 1/4 (4) + 1

Answer 11

thats how i do it ^^ @campbell_st

Answer 12

yes that's it... you should be 2

Answer 13

is the answer 2??

Answer 14

Answer 15

and when u put 6 is the answer 2 1/2

Answer 16

Answer 17

assuming you mean 6 - 4y = -4 turns into \[\Large y = \frac{5}{2} = 2 \frac{1}{2}\] then you are correct
