Solve for x y-2=4(x-1)

Problem

y−2=4*(x−1)

Solution

1. Distribute the constant 4 to the terms inside the parentheses on the right side of the equation.

y−2=4*x−4

2. Isolate the term containing x by adding 4 to both sides of the equation.

y−2+4=4*x

3. Simplify the constants on the left side.

y+2=4*x

4. Divide both sides by 4 to solve for x

(y+2)/4=x

5. Rewrite the expression by splitting the fraction if necessary, though the combined form is also correct.

x=1/4*y+1/2

Final Answer

x=(y+2)/4
