Question

Solve each equation for y.
7) 3x-8y=-48

Answer 1

Answer: y =
`(3)/(8)`x + 6

Explanation:

To solve for y, we will isolate the y variable and set the equation equal to y.

Given:

3x - 8y = -48

Add 8y and 48 to both sides of the equation:

3x + 48 = 8y

Divide both sides of the equation by 8:

`(3)/(8)`x + 6 = y

Reflexive property:

y =
`(3)/(8)`x + 6
