Given the numerical expression:

4x + 2y = 16

Write in function form.

Function is written as f(x), where f(x) = y

Solution:

We will solve for y, in order to change the given numerical expression into function form.

4x + 2y = 16

Transpose 4x on the other side of the equation, note that when transposing a number, the sign changes.

2y = 16 -4x

Divide both sides by 2 in order to get the value of y.

y = 8 - 2x

Final answer:

f(x) = 8 - 2x
