ANSWER
y = 6 - 4x
EXPLANATION
We have the formula:
16x + 4y = 24
To solve it for y, we have to make y the subject of the formula by simply isolating it on one side.
That is:
16x + 4y = 24
=> 4y = 24 - 16x
Divide through by 4:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{4}y\text{ = }\frac{24}{4}\text{ - }\frac{16}{4}x \\ \Rightarrow\text{ y = 6 - 4x} \end{gathered}[/tex]We have solved it for y.
