Question

Solve for y: 4x+5y=12

Answer 1

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

4x+5y=12​

y = ?

Step 02:

4x + 5y = 12

5y = 12 - 4x

`\begin{gathered} y\text{ = }(12)/(5)\text{ - }(4x)/(5) \\ y\text{ = }(-4)/(5)x\text{ + }(12)/(5) \end{gathered}`

The answer is:

y = -4/5 x + 12/5
