Question

Identify the equivalent of: 8x = 12 + 2y A. y = 4x + 6 B. y = -4x – 6 C. y = 4x – 6 D. y = -4x + 6

Answer 1

Hi there!

The answer is

We need to find what y equals:

First, let's isolate y and move it to one side of the equation.
-2y = -8x + 12

Now, we multiply all values by -1 so y is positive.
2y = 8x - 12

We now divide all values by 2 to solve for y.
y = 4x - 6

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

8x = 12 + 2y
subtract 12 on both sides to isolate 2y.

2y = 8x - 12
divide by 2

y = 4x - 6

The correct answer is C. y = 4x - 6

Hope this helped!
