Solve 4 (y - b) = x for y

This is a literal equation. It is all about manipulating the variables so that y is isolated in term of all the other variables in this case.

4 (y - b) = x

First divide the equation by 4.

y-b=x/4

Then add b.

y=x/4+b That is the answer!

y=b+x/4

Step-by-step explanation:

4 (y-b) = x

y-b=x/4

y=b+x/4
