Answer: I= 3÷y-5x÷12

solve for y

​ Step-by-step explanation: 5x−4y=−12I

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left-hand side.

−12I=5x−4y

Divide both sides by −12.

-12I/-12= 5x−4y/-12

Dividing by −12 undoes the multiplication by −12.

I=-12I/-12= 5x−4y/-12

Divide 5x−4y by −12

I=3÷y-5x÷12

Answer:

To solve the equation 5x - 4y = -12, we can first get all of the terms containing x on one side of the equation and all of the terms containing y on the other side. To do this, we need to add 4y to both sides of the equation. This gives us 5x = -12 + 4y. Then, we can divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get x = (-12 + 4y)/5. This is the value of x that makes the equation true.
