Solve for y.

3x + 1/2y = -4

3 answers

To solve for y, we'll isolate the y term.

First, we'll subtract 3x from both sides of the equation:
3x + (1/2)y - 3x = -4 - 3x

Simplifying the left side, we get:
(1/2)y = -3x - 4

Next, we'll multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to eliminate the fraction:
2 * (1/2)y = 2 * (-3x - 4)

This gives us:
y = -6x - 8

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