Given the equation:
-2y + 4x = 14
Solve for y.
Solution:
In order to solve for y, we simply need to transpose -2y and 14 to their opposite sides of the equation, hence we must take note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
-2y + 4x = 14
2y = 4x - 14
Divide both sides by 2, in order to determine the value of y.
2y/2 = 4x/2 - 14/2
y = 2x - 7
Final answer:
y = 2x - 7
