Answer:


\fbox{\begin{minipage}{4em}Yes, it is\end{minipage}}

Explanation:

3x - 6y = 24

Divide both sides by 6:

(3/6)x - (6/6)y = 24/6

Simplify:

(1/2)x - y = 4

Move y to the right side, 4 to the left side, and change sign of y and 4:

(1/2)x - 4 = y

Rearrange both sides:

y= (1/2)x - 4

Hope this helps!
