write un slope-intercept form. 2x+4y=8

Question

anonymous · Answer

Simplifying
2x + 4y = 8

Solving
2x + 4y = 8

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4y' to each side of the equation.
2x + 4y + -4y = 8 + -4y

Combine like terms: 4y + -4y = 0
2x + 0 = 8 + -4y
2x = 8 + -4y

Divide each side by '2'.
x = 4 + -2y

Simplifying
x = 4 + -2y

@tb1 slope intercept format   y = m x + b

triciaal · Answer

whatever you do to one side of the equation also do to the other to keep the balance

triciaal · Answer

when solving for any variable in any equation, gather all the terms with that variable to one side and  simplify then divide each side by the coefficient of the variable
