Answers
GPT 3.5
To make y the subject in the equation 3x + 2y = 12, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation.
First, let's subtract 3x from both sides of the equation:
3x + 2y - 3x = 12 - 3x
2y = 12 - 3x
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for y:
(2y)/2 = (12 - 3x)/2
y = (12 - 3x)/2
Therefore, y is the subject in the equation 3x + 2y = 12, and its expression as a subject is y = (12 - 3x)/2.
