Solve for x x+2y=8

Problem

x+2*y=8

Solution

1. Identify the variable to isolate, which is x

2. Subtract 2*y from both sides of the equation to move the term containing y to the right side.

x+2*y−2*y=8−2*y

3. Simplify the left side of the equation by canceling out the 2*y and −2*y terms.

x=8−2*y

Final Answer

x=8−2*y
