Question

Solve for y: 3x - 4y = 12

Answer 1

The value of y is 3/4x-3.

Explanation

Rearrange the equation to get y on one side of the equation.

3x-4y=12

-4y=12-3x

y=-3+3/4x

y=3/4x-3

Answer 2

y = 3/4x -3

Explanation:

3x - 4y = 12

Subtract 3x from each side

3x - 4y -3x =-3x+ 12

-4y = -3x+12

Divide by -4

-4y/-4 = -3x/-4 +12/-4

y = 3/4x -3
