Answer:

y = -3x +6

Explanation:

You want to solve the equation 6x +2y = 12 for y.

Solution

We can isolate the y-term by subtracting 6x from both sides.

6x -6x +2y = -6x +12

2y = -6x +12 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

Then we can get y by itself by dividing both sides by 2:

2y/2 = -6x/2 +12/2

y = -3x +6 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

The expression for y is y = -3x +6.
