Answer:

y= -
(3)/(2) \\ +2

y=2

Explanation:

1. 3x+2y=4 subtract 3x on both sides to isolate 2y

-3x =-3x

2y=-3x+4

2. 2y=-3x+4 divide both sides by 2 to isolate y

2 2

y=-
(3)/(2\\) +2 this is the equivalent equation

To solve for y.

1. substitute 0 for x

y= -
(3)/(2)(0) + 2

2. anything multiplied by 0 is 0

y=2
