Question

x-3y=16 solve for y

Answer 1

I think the question is wrong!

Answer 2

Solve x-3y=16 for y.

Answer 3

I know but it's not system so I think we can't solve it!

Answer 4

Solve for y:
x = 16+3 y
Reverse the equality in x = 16+3 y in order to isolate y to the left hand side.
x = 3 y+16 is equivalent to 3 y+16 = x:
16+3 y = x
Isolate terms with y to the left hand side.
Subtract 16 from both sides:
3 y = -16+x
Solve for y.
Divide both sides by 3:

What do you get?
