Given:
[tex]4x+2y=8[/tex]Solve the equation for y,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4x+2y=8 \\ Subtract\text{ -4 from both sides} \\ 4x+2y-4x=8-4x \\ 2y=8-4x \\ \text{Divide by 2 on both side} \\ \frac{2y}{2}=\frac{8-4x}{2} \\ y=\frac{8}{2}-\frac{4x}{2} \\ y=4-2x \\ \text{ express the equation in the form y=mx+b} \\ y=-2x+4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer: y = -2x +4
