how do you solve 12x +3y=24 for y

Answer 1

To solve for y, you simply rewrite the equation such that all the terms with y are on one side and all other terms are on the other side.

12x + 3y = 24

3y = 24 - 12x Subtract both sides by 12x.

y = 8 - 4x Simplify the equation by dividing both sides by 3.
