Question

Solve the equation below for : y.6x – 3y = 36

A. y = 2x – 12
B. y = 12 - 2x
C.y = 1/2 x + 6
D. y= 6 - 2x

Answer 1

Hi there! :)

`\large\boxed{A. \text{ } y = 2x - 12}`

6x - 3y = 36

Solve for y:

begin isolating by subtracting both sides by 6x:

6x - 6x - 3y = 36 - 6x

-3y = 36 - 6x

Divide both sides by -3 to solve for y:

(-3y) / (-3) = (36 - 6x)/ (-3)

y = -12 + 2x

Rearrange:

y = 2x - 12, or choice A.
