x - y = 4

$x - y = 4$

Step 1

Subtract

x

$x$ from both sides of the equation.

- y = 4 - x

$- y = 4 - x$

Step 2

Divide each term in

- y = 4 - x

$- y = 4 - x$ by

- 1

$- 1$ and simplify.

Step 2.1

Divide each term in

- y = 4 - x

$- y = 4 - x$ by

- 1

$- 1$ .

\frac{- y}{- 1} = \frac{4}{- 1} + \frac{- x}{- 1}

$\frac{- y}{- 1} = \frac{4}{- 1} + \frac{- x}{- 1}$

Step 2.2

Simplify the left side.

Step 2.2.1

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

\frac{y}{1} = \frac{4}{- 1} + \frac{- x}{- 1}

$\frac{y}{1} = \frac{4}{- 1} + \frac{- x}{- 1}$

Step 2.2.2

Divide

y

$y$ by

1

$1$ .

y = \frac{4}{- 1} + \frac{- x}{- 1}

$y = \frac{4}{- 1} + \frac{- x}{- 1}$

y = \frac{4}{- 1} + \frac{- x}{- 1}

$y = \frac{4}{- 1} + \frac{- x}{- 1}$

Step 2.3

Simplify the right side.

Step 2.3.1.1

Divide

4

$4$ by

- 1

$- 1$ .

y = - 4 + \frac{- x}{- 1}

$y = - 4 + \frac{- x}{- 1}$

Step 2.3.1.2

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

y = - 4 + \frac{x}{1}

$y = - 4 + \frac{x}{1}$

Step 2.3.1.3

Divide

x

$x$ by

1

$1$ .

y = - 4 + x

$y = - 4 + x$

y = - 4 + x

$y = - 4 + x$

y = - 4 + x

$y = - 4 + x$

y = - 4 + x

$y = - 4 + x$

Step 3

The domain of the expression is all real numbers except where the expression is undefined. In this case, there is no real number that makes the expression undefined.
