Question

2x+4y=12 solve for “y”.

Answer 1

Ok, when solving for this types of equation, i have learned a good trick. We are solving for y, so just put your finger in front of x to take it out and solve from there. With that, we are left with 4y=12. Divide both sides by 4 and get your answer. y=3.
Hope this helps

Answer 2

2x + 4y = 12..subtract 2x from both sides
4y = -2x + 12...divide both sides by 4
y = -2/4x + 12/4....reduce
y = -1/2x + 3 <===
