Solve for x x-y=4

Problem

x−y=4

Solution

1. Identify the goal, which is to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.

2. Apply the addition property of equality by adding y to both sides of the equation to move it from the left side to the right side.

x−y+y=4+y

3. Simplify the left side of the equation by combining the like terms −y and y which sum to zero.

x=4+y

Final Answer

x=y+4
