Make x the subject of the equation. y = 4( 2 + x )/ (6x -1)

First lets times both sides by (6x -1) y(6x - 1) = 4(2 + x) now lets expand the brackets 6xy - y = 8 + 4x now lets move all the ones with x as a factor onto one side of the equation and the rest on the other. 6xy - 4x = y + 8 now if we factorise x(6y - 4) = y + 8 now if we divide through by (6y - 4) x = (y + 8) / (6y - 4)
