Question

Y/3 - 8 = 12 im sobbing how do i do this

Answer 1

Answer: 60 or -60, depending on the question.

Explanation:

Since the question wasn't clear, there are two possible answers for this.

If the question was (y/3) - 8, then the problem can be completed like this:
(y/3) - 8 = 12
y/3 = 12 + 8

y/3 = 20
y = 20 * 3
y = 60

If the question was y/(3-8), then the problem can be completed like this:
y/(3 - 8) = 12
y = 12(3 - 8)
y = 12(-5)
y = -60

hope this helped !!

Answer 2

Here is my work. First, you have to get the y/3 term all alone, and to do that, you should add 8 to both sides.

Then multiply the reciprocal of 1/3 to both sides, so you would multiply by 3/1 (which is just 3) on both sides

And the final answer is

Y = 60
