help please

Guest,  I see what you are saying.  This is a mistake on my hand.  I am still learning this stuff,  and I am glad I have people who can point out my mistakes.  Thank you!

4x+y=8 solve for y

4x + y=8 subtract 4x from both sides

y = 8 - 4x

Divide both sides by 4.

x + y = 2

Subtract x from both sides.

y = 2 - x

That is your answer!!

Your answer is wrong. You cannot divide just ONE term on the LHS by 4. You must divide both terms: The correct answer is that of "Guest # 1":

y = 8 - 4x, or

y = 4(2 - x)
