Question

Isolate y in the equation 3x + 2y = 8.

Answer 1

First subtract 3x from both sides.
Then divide both sides by 2.

Answer 2

3x + 2y = 8.
2y= -3x+8
\[y=\frac{1}{2}(-3x+8)\]
Thus the y is isolated

Answer 3

3x + 2y = 8
subtract 3x from both sides
2y = -3x + 8
now divide by 2 to get y by itself
y = -3/2x + 4
