Answer: y= -2 - 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x -2y = 1
+4x +4x
-2y = 4x + 1
/-2 /-2 /-2
y= -2 - 1/2
I think, i may be incorrect but the verbal explanation is; -4x is needed to be moved so you add 4x to both sides and 4x cancels out on the left which leaves -2y on the left (when it was moved "x" is always first). then divide all numbers by -2 to get y by itself. this gives you y= -2 - 1/2 if my calculations are correct.
