Hey there!
3(4y - 12) = 0
3(4y) + 3(-12) = 0
12y - 36 = 0
Add 36 to both sides
12y - 36 + 36 = 0 + 36
Cancel out: -36 + 36 because it give you 0
Keep: 0 + 36 because it help solve for the equation
New equation: 12y = 0 + 36
Simplify it
12y = 36
DIVIDE 12 to both sides
12y/12 = 36/12
Cancel out: 12/12 because that give you 1
Keep: 36/12 because it give you the y-value (also known as your overall result)
New equation: y = 36/12
Simplify it
y = 3
Therefore, your answer should be:
y = 3
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
