Question

How do you subtract x from both sides of the equation x+4y=10?

Answer 1

4y = 10 - x

Explanation:

x + 4y = 10

Subtract x from both sides of the equation.

x + 4y - x = 10 - x

Now you can combine like terms on the left side.

x - x + 4y = 10 - x

4y = 10 - x

Answer 2

Subtracting x means that you are solving for y.

x + 4y = 10

x + 4y - x = 10 - x (Subtracting x to both sides)

4y = 10 - x (After subtracting x to both sides)

4y/4 = 10/4 - 1/4x

y = 1/4x - 10/4
