Solve for x 2x+y=8

Problem

2*x+y=8

Solution

1. Subtract y from both sides of the equation to isolate the term containing x

2*x+y−y=8−y

2*x=8−y

2. Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x

(2*x)/2=(8−y)/2

3. Simplify the right side of the equation by dividing each term in the numerator by 2

x=8/2−y/2

x=4−y/2

Final Answer

x=4−y/2
