$x = \frac{y - 16 w}{4}$ $x = (y-16w)/4$

Step 1: Isolate the term containing $x$ $x$

$16 w + 4 x = y$ $16w + 4x = y$

$\Rightarrow 16 w + 4 x - 16 w = y - 16 w$ $=>16w + 4x - 16w = y-16w$

$\Rightarrow 4 x = y - 16 w$ $=> 4x = y-16w$

Step 2: Divide by the coefficient of $x$ $x$

$\frac{4 x}{4} = \frac{y - 16 w}{4}$ $(4x)/4=(y-16w)/4$

$\Rightarrow x = \frac{y - 16 w}{4}$ $=>x=(y-16w)/4$

How do you solve for x in 16w+4x=y 16w+4x=y16w+4x=y ?
