X-4y=-22 solve for y

Add 4y to both sides of the equation:

x=4y-22

Now replace x in the equation:

(4y-22) - 4y=-22

Distribute the negative sign:

-4y+22-4y=-22

Add common terms:

-8y+22=-22

Add 8y to both sides of the equation:

8y-22=22

Add 22 to both sides of the equation:

8y=44

Divide both sides by 8:

y=5.5
