Solve for x y=4x-3

$y = 4 x - 3$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $4 x - 3 = y$ .

$4 x - 3 = y$

Step 2

Add $3$ to both sides of the equation.

$4 x = y + 3$

Step 3

Divide each term in $4 x = y + 3$ by $4$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $4 x = y + 3$ by $4$ .

$\frac{4 x}{4} = \frac{y}{4} + \frac{3}{4}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{4 x}{4} = \frac{y}{4} + \frac{3}{4}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{y}{4} + \frac{3}{4}$
