Find the value of xx that satisfies the equation 2x4y=22x - 4y = 2 when y=4y = -4.

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The given equation is x4y=x -4y = . We are looking for a pair (?,4)(?, -4) that satisfies the equation. This means we are looking for a value of xx when y=4y = -4.

STEP 2

Substitute y=4y = -4 into the equation.
2x4(4)=22x -4(-4) =2

STEP 3

implify the equation.
2x+16=22x +16 =2

STEP 4

Subtract16 from both sides of the equation to isolate 2x2x.
2x=2162x =2 -16

STEP 5

implify the right side of the equation.
2x=142x = -14

STEP 6

Divide both sides of the equation by2 to solve for xx.
x=14/2x = -14 /2

STEP 7

Calculate the value of xx.
x=7x = -7So, the pair that will satisfy the given equation is (7,4)(-7, -4).
