Solve for x 4x-y=2

$4 x - y = 2$

Step 1

Add $y$ to both sides of the equation.

$4 x = 2 + y$

Step 2

Divide each term in $4 x = 2 + y$ by $4$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $4 x = 2 + y$ by $4$ .

$\frac{4 x}{4} = \frac{2}{4} + \frac{y}{4}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{4 x}{4} = \frac{2}{4} + \frac{y}{4}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{2}{4} + \frac{y}{4}$

$x = \frac{2}{4} + \frac{y}{4}$

$x = \frac{2}{4} + \frac{y}{4}$

Simplify the right side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ and $4$ .

Factor $2$ out of $2$ .

$x = \frac{2 (1)}{4} + \frac{y}{4}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $4$ .

$x = \frac{2 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 2} + \frac{y}{4}$

Cancel the common factor.

$x = \frac{2 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 2} + \frac{y}{4}$

Rewrite the expression.

$x = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{y}{4}$

$x = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{y}{4}$

$x = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{y}{4}$

$x = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{y}{4}$

$x = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{y}{4}$
