Fletcher Villarreal · Answer 1

y=8 / (p+q+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

py+qy=-4y+8

Collect all terms containing y together

Py+qy+4y=8

Factor out y

y (p+q+4) = 8

Divide both sides by (p+q+4)

y (p+q+4) / (p+q+4) = 8 / (p+q+4)

y=8 / (p+q+4)

Gia Holden · Answer 2

y = 8/p+q+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange to get all y terms on one side.

py + qy + 4y = 8

Factorise py + qy + 4y

y (p + q + 4) = 8

Divide by p + q + 4 to solve for y

y = 8 / p + q + 4

Solve for y.py + qy = - 4y + 8y =

Solve for y.

py + qy = - 4y + 8

y =
