Question

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Solve the equation for y: 12x – 4y = 8.


y = –2 + 3x

y = 2 – 3x

y = –8 + 12x

y = 12 – 12x

Answer 1

Subtract 12x from both sides.

Answer 2

What did you get?

Answer 3

nothing..... im confused....

Answer 4

Do you know what the two sides of an equation are?

Answer 5

nope....

Answer 6

great question:)

Answer 7

ok thanks

Answer 8

The equal sign divides the sides of the equation. In your equation the left side is 12x-4y. What is the right sides?

Answer 9

razzy if you have 12x - 12x...what do you get?

Answer 10

side

Answer 11

Ok. Musical rose wants to help you now. Good bye.

Answer 12

its -4y=8? rite?

Answer 13

12x - 4y = 8
we want Y on one side and the rest on the other
if we subtract 12x from both sides
12x-12x-4y=8-12x
-4y=8-12x
then to get y alone we need to devide by the number next to y (-4)
(-4/-4)y = (8/-4)-(12/-4)x
y = -2 + 3x
does this make since?

Answer 14

add/subtract terms away from the side with y untill you get one term with y on one side, then devide away the rest of the term to get y by itself

Answer 15

ok wait im confused on whats the answer......

Answer 16
