If x+4y=-2 and x = 5/3, find y

Answer: 11/-12

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, rearrange the equation and substitute the values to find y.

1. Rearrange the equation x+4y = - 2

a. subtract 4y from each side

x = - 4y - 2

b. add 2 to both sides

x+2 = - 4y

c. your equation is now x+2 = - 4y

2. substitute your x value into the equation

a. x+2 = - 4y

b. x = 5/3

c. 5/3+2 = - 4y

3. simplify the problem

11/3 = - 4y

11 = - 12y

11/-12 = y

y is equal to 11/-12
