Question

Rearrange the equation 4y - 8 = 12x + 4 into slope intercept form

Answer 1

`x = (y)/(3) - 1`

Explanation:

`1. \: 4y - 8 - 4 = 12x \\ 2. \: 4y - 12 = 12x \\ 3. \: (4y - 12)/(12) = x \\ 4. \: (4(y - 3))/(12) = x \\ 5. \: (y - 3)/(3) = x \\ 6. \: - 1 + (y)/(3) = x \\ 7. \: (y)/(3) -1 = x \\ 8. \: x = (y)/(3)-1`
