y=-2/12
OpenStudy (danjs):
(12y-8) / -
4
or
12y - (8/-4)
OpenStudy (danjs):
group multiple term numerator and denominator with parenthesis
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I meant 3y+2
OpenStudy (danjs):
remember the properties of addition of fractions
\[\frac{ 12y-8 }{ -4 } = \frac{ 12y }{ -4 }-\frac{ 8 }{ -4 }\]

simplify both those fractions if possible
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (danjs):
(12/-4) *y - (8/(-4)) = -3y - (-2) = -3y+2
close
OpenStudy (drigobri):
\[\frac{ 12y - 8 }{ -4 } = \frac{ 12y}{ -4 } + \frac{- 8 }{ -4 } = -3y + 2\]
If you want find the Y:
\[-3y + 2 = 0\]\[3y = 2\]\[y = \frac{ 2 }{ 3 }\]\[y = 1,5\]
OpenStudy (danjs):
You can not solve for anything, How do you figure you just set that = to zero?

OpenStudy (drigobri):
Hey my friend, i just said that if he want to find the Y, he can set -3y + 2 = 0
