Solve for y x=(w+y+z)/8

$x = \frac{w + y + z}{8}$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $\frac{w + y + z}{8} = x$ .

$\frac{w + y + z}{8} = x$

Step 2

Multiply both sides of the equation by $8$ .

$8 \frac{w + y + z}{8} = 8 x$

Step 3

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $8$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$8 \frac{w + y + z}{8} = 8 x$

Rewrite the expression.

$w + y + z = 8 x$

Step 4

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $w$ from both sides of the equation.

$y + z = 8 x - w$

Subtract $z$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = 8 x - w - z$
