Answer:
x = -2y - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
First isolate the variable by putting the x on a side by itself.
-4x=36+8y (8y becomes positive when it changes sides)
Then divide the entire equation by -4 to make the x stand alone.
x = -9 -2y
Some teachers prefer the variables at the beginning of the equations so it could also read
x = -2y - 9
Hello there!
Question:-
[tex]-4x-8y=36[/tex]
We need to find the value of x.
Solution:-
[tex]\sf \longmapsto-4x-8y=36[/tex]
Firstly, Add 8y to both sides :-
[tex]\sf \longmapsto \: - 4x - 8y+8y=36+8y[/tex]
On Simplification:-
As (-) and (+) equals to (-),It Will be 8y-8y.Answer would be 0.
[tex]\sf \longmapsto \: - 4x - 0 = 36 + 8y[/tex]
[tex]\sf \longmapsto \: - 4x = 8y + 36[/tex]
Then, Divide both sides by -4:-
[tex]\sf \longmapsto \: \dfrac{4x}{ - 4} = \dfrac{8y + 36}{ - 4} [/tex]
On Simplification:-
[tex]\sf \longmapsto \: x = - 2y - 9[/tex]
______________________________________
Henceforth the value of x is :-
[tex] \boxed{\tt \: x = - 2y - 9}[/tex]
