Q. If y=14x+1 y=\frac{1}{4} x+1 , which of the following expressions is equivalent to x x ?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 4y4 4 y-4 \newline(B) 4y1 4 y-1 \newline(C) y1 y-1 \newline(D) 14y+1 \frac{1}{4} y+1
  1. Solve for yy: To find an expression equivalent to xx, we need to solve the equation y=(14)x+1y = (\frac{1}{4})x + 1 for xx.
  2. Isolate terms with xx: Subtract 11 from both sides of the equation to isolate terms with xx on one side:\newliney1=14x+11y - 1 = \frac{1}{4}x + 1 - 1\newliney1=14xy - 1 = \frac{1}{4}x
  3. Multiply both sides by 44: Multiply both sides of the equation by 44 to solve for xx:4(y1)=4×(14)x4(y - 1) = 4 \times (\frac{1}{4})x4y4=x4y - 4 = x
  4. Final expression for x: We have found that xx is equivalent to 4y44y - 4, which corresponds to option (A).
