To solve for y, we need to isolate the variable y on one side of the equation.
First, let's get rid of the term 3x by subtracting 3x from both sides of the equation:
3x + (1/2)y - 3x = -4 - 3x
Simplifying the left side, we have:
(1/2)y = -4 - 3x
Next, we want to isolate y by getting rid of the coefficient (1/2). We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2:
2 * (1/2)y = 2 * (-4 - 3x)
Simplifying, we get:
y = -8 - 6x
So the equation is:
`y = -8 - 6x`
Solve for y. Use the note pad to show your work, then type your equation in the box below.
`3x+\frac{1}{2}y=-4`
