Question

Solve for y

-4y+3x=16

Answer 1

y =
`(3)/(4)` x - 4

Explanation:

-4y + 3x = 16 Subtract 3x from both sides

-4y + 3x - 3x = -3x + 16

-4y = -3x + 16 Divide all the way through by -4

`(-4y)/(-4)` =
`(-3)/(-4)` x +
`(16)/(-4)`

y =
`(3)/(4)` x - 4

Answer 2

Add 3x on both sides you get -4y=3x+16
then you want to divide -4 on both sides you get y= -3/4 - 4
