To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

-4y + 2 = \( \frac{y}{6} \)
6 x (-4y + 2) = y
(6 x -4y) + (6 x 2) = y
-24y + 12 = y
-24y + 12 - y = 0
-24y - y = -12
-25y = -12
y = \( \frac{-12}{-25} \)
y = \(\frac{12}{25}\)

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 9 + 4 + 4 + 6
p = 23

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (b) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-8b + 3x = 8b + 3x - 4
-8b = 8b + 3x - 4 - 3x
-8b - 8b = 3x - 4 - 3x
-16b = - 4
b = \( \frac{ - 4}{-16} \)
b = \( \frac{}{-16} \) + \( \frac{-4}{-16} \)
b = x + \(\frac{1}{4}\)

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
