Question

Solve for y from the standard form
3x - 8y = 24

Answer 1

`y=(3)/(8) x-3`

Explanation:

To solve for y, we want to isolate it. This means subtracting 3x from both sides:

-8y = 24 - 3x

Now, to get y, we divide both sides by -8 to get rid of the current coefficient of y:

`y=(24-3x)/(-8) =-3+(3)/(8) x`

Thus, the answer is
`y=(3)/(8) x-3` .

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

y = 3/8 x -3

Explanation:

3x - 8y = 24

Solving for y

Subtract 3x from each side

3x-3x - 8y =-3x+ 24

-8y = -3x+24

Divide each side by -8

-8y/-8 = -3x/-8 +24/-8

y = 3/8 x -3
