To solve for y, we can start by isolating y on one side of the equation.
First, we can subtract 3x from both sides of the equation to move the term containing x to the other side:
3x + 1/2y = -4
Subtracting 3x from both sides:
1/2y = -4 - 3x
Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to remove the fraction:
2 * (1/2y) = 2 * (-4 - 3x)
Simplifying the equation:
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.
3x+\frac{1}{2}y=-4
