To solve for y, we need to isolate the variable y on one side of the equation.
Given equation: 3x + (1/2)y = -4
We can start by subtracting 3x from both sides to isolate the y term:
3x + (1/2)y - 3x = -4 - 3x
Simplifying, we get:
(1/2)y = -4 - 3x
Next, we need to get rid of the fraction (1/2) by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2:
2 * (1/2)y = 2 * (-4 - 3x)
Simplifying further, we have:
y = -8 - 6x
Therefore, the equation in terms of y is:
y = -8 - 6x
Solve for y. Use the note pad to show your work, then type your equation in the box below.
