Linear Algebra Examples

$x - 2 y = 4$

Step 1

Subtract $x$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 2 y = 4 - x$

Step 2

Divide each term in $- 2 y = 4 - x$ by $- 2$ and simplify.

Step 2.1

Divide each term in $- 2 y = 4 - x$ by $- 2$ .

$\frac{- 2 y}{- 2} = \frac{4}{- 2} + \frac{- x}{- 2}$

Step 2.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 2 y}{- 2} = \frac{4}{- 2} + \frac{- x}{- 2}$

Step 2.2.1.2

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{4}{- 2} + \frac{- x}{- 2}$

Step 2.3

Step 2.3.1.1

Divide $4$ by $- 2$ .

$y = - 2 + \frac{- x}{- 2}$

Step 2.3.1.2

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$y = - 2 + \frac{x}{2}$

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.
