Question

*please be serious*
3y = -x - 12
*solve for y

Answer 1

y = -x/3 - 4

Divide both sides by 3. 12/3 is 4 and since we don’t know what x is, it’s -x/3.

Answer 2

Answer:
`y=-(1)/(3)x-4`

Explanation:

To solve for y, we want to make sure y is isolated. SInce y is already isolated, all we need to do is divide both sides of the equation by 3.

`3y=-x-12` [divide both sides by 3]

`y=-(x)/(3) -4` or
`y=-(1)/(3)x-4`
