How would I go about solving this equation for y: 4x + 3y = -12. ?

amistre64 · Answer

subtract 4x from both sides and divide it all by 3

amistre64 · Answer

4x + 3y = -12
-4x              -4x
----------------
         3y = -4x-12
         \3          \3
        ------------
          y = (-4/3)x - 4

Thanks. This is the option that best matches the answer you gave me..
y = -4 - 4/3 x
