Answer:

y = 2/3x - 2

Explanation:

To Literally Solve for y, we must first isolate it. This means putting it and its coefficient on the own side of the equation.


If you add, multiply, divide, subtract, put something to the power/root both sides of an equation, the final result will stay the same.

4x - 6y = 12

Subtract 4x on both sides.

4x - 4x -6y = 12 - 4x

Simplify.

-6y = 12 - 4x

Divide both sides by -6.

y = -2 + 2/3x

Adjusted the equation for clarity.

y = 2/3x - 2
