Solve for Y X+4Y=1

$X + 4 Y = 1$

Step 1

Subtract $X$ from both sides of the equation.

$4 Y = 1 - X$

Step 2

Divide each term in $4 Y = 1 - X$ by $4$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $4 Y = 1 - X$ by $4$ .

$\frac{4 Y}{4} = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{- X}{4}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{4 Y}{4} = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{- X}{4}$

Divide $Y$ by $1$ .

$Y = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{- X}{4}$

Simplify the right side.

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$Y = \frac{1}{4} - \frac{X}{4}$
