Answer:


x = (3y - 2)/(4)

Multiply through by 4

We have


3y - 2 = 4x

Send 2 to the right side of the expression

That's


3y = 4x + 2

Divide both sides by 3

That's


(3y)/(3) = (4x + 2)/(3)

We have the final answer as


y = (4x + 2)/(3)

Hope this helps you

Answer:


y = (4x + 2)/(3)

Step by step explanation


x = (3y - 2)/(4)
(Given)

Multiply by 4 on both sides:


4 * x = (3y - 2)/(4) * 4

Calculate


4x = 3y - 2

Add 2 on both sides


4x + 2 = 3y - 2 + 2


4x + 2 = 3y


3y = 4x + 2

Divide both sides of the equation by 3


(3y)/(3) = (4x + 2)/(3)

Calculate


y = (4x + 2)/(3)

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..
