Question

Simplified version of -12x + 3y = -3?

Answer 1

-4x+y = -1

Explanation:

-12x + 3y = -3

I am going to factorise 3 out from the left hand side of the equation.

3(-4x+y) = -3

Shift the 3 over to the right hand side and turn (×3) into (÷3).

-4x + y =
`(-3)/(3)`

Evaluate.

-4x + y = -1
