solve for y

Question

3x + 1/2y = -4

Answer 1

To solve for y in the equation 3x + 1/2y = -4, we can start by isolating the y term by subtracting 3x from both sides:

1/2y = -4 - 3x

Next, we can multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction:

2 * (1/2y) = 2 * (-4 - 3x)
y = -8 - 6x

Therefore, the solution for y is y = -8 - 6x.
