Equation
DE
-8y- 6x = 32

Answer 1

y = -3/4x - 4

Explanation:

-8y -6x = 32

-8y = 32 + 6x -- isolate the y variable.

(-1) -8y = 32 + 6x (-1) -- the y has to be a positive number so multiply every single number by -1

8y/8 = -32/8 - 6x/8 -- divide both sides by 8

y = - 4 - 6/8x

y = -3/4x -4 - simplify the fraction and that is your answer
