Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 24x + 2y = 48 \) for \( y \), we can follow these steps:

1. Subtract \( 24x \) from both sides of the equation: \[ 2y = 48 - 24x \]

2. Divide both sides of the equation by \( 2 \) to isolate \( y \): \[ y = \frac{48 - 24x}{2} \]

3. Simplifying the right-hand side gives: \[ y = 24 - 12x \]

So, the final expression for \( y \) is: \[ y = 24 - 12x \]
