Good question. What is the value of w and y?

(2x+2/Y)=4w+2

2x+2 = 4w+2*Y           ---Multiply both sides by Y

2x = 4w*y            ---Subtract 2 from both sides

x = 2w*1/2y          ---Divide everything by 2

 

Well, I believe that's the answer.

Like DragonSlayer said, if we have the values of w and y we could solve for x = number, but I think this is how you would solve it not knowing w or y.

i dont remeber exactly but the looked like x=wy+y-1 or +1 +2 -2 or with -y so idk how to solve it XD

I think I might have it.

Was x = wy one of the given answers?

Because my orignal answer would be simplified to that.

x = 2w*1/2y

is really

x = 2*w*1/2*y

and

2*1/2 = 1

so x = w*y*1

or just x = wy

(2x+2/Y)=4w+2

Factor a "2" out of the left side

2(x + 1/y) = 4w + 2

Divide everything by 2

x + 1/y = (2w + 1)

Subtract 1/y from each side

x = (2w + 1) - 1/y

We can get a common denominator on the right

x = ([y(2w + 1)] / y) - (1/y) 

x = [2wy + y - 1] / y

And that's it.......
