11- 1/2y = 3 + 6x solve for y (literal equation) I'm very confused is it y = 3 + 6x - 11 ×(-2)?

Answer: y = -12x+16

====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear out the fraction

11 - (1/2)y = 3 + 6x

2* ( 11 - (1/2)y ) = 2*(3 + 6x)

2*11 - 2*(1/2)y = 2*3 + 2*6

22 - y = 6 + 12x

Then let's solve for y

22 - y = 6 + 12x

-y = 6 + 12x-22

-y = 12x-16

y = -(12x-16)

y = -12x+16 is the answer

The final answer is in slope intercept form y = mx+b

m = -12 = slope

b = 16 = y intercept
