Answer:

=(x/6) -4

Explanation:

1. to isolate the term with y, we need to get rid of the x term, you can do this by subtracting x from both sides of the equation

x-x 6y = 24- x

Simplified: -6y = -x + 24

2. Now, you woukd wajt to isolate y. to do this, you divide vith sides of the equation by -6:

(-6y)/-6=(-x+24)/6

simplified:y=(x/6)-4

I hope this helps :)
