B.
–21

C.
21

D.
28

Answer 1

`(-7)/(12) = (y)/(-36)`

First, simplify
`(y)/(-36)` to
`- (y)/(36)` / Your problem should look like:
`- (7)/(12) = -(y)/(36)`
Second, multiply both sides by 36. / Your problem should look like:
`-21=-y`
Third, multiply both sides by -1. / Your problem should look like:
`21 = y`
Fourth, switch your sides. / Your problem should look like:
`y = 21`

Answer: C) 21
