`y+1=2(x-4)`

1 answer

To solve the equation `y + 1 = 2(x - 4)` for y, we start by expanding the right side of the equation:

y + 1 = 2x - 8

Next, we isolate y by subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation:

y = 2x - 8 - 1

Simplifying further, we have:

y = 2x - 9

So, the equation `y + 1 = 2(x - 4)` is equivalent to `y = 2x - 9`.
