Answer

$y=5-2x$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow 20=8x+4y$ Subtract $8x$ from each side. $\Rightarrow 20-8x=8x+4y-8x$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 20-8x=4y$ Divide both sides by $4$. $\Rightarrow \frac{20-8x}{4}=\frac{4y}{4}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 5-2x=y$ Hence, the rewritten literal equation is $y=5-2x$.
