Simplify. Combine like terms
7y - 3y = 4y
-12 + 9 = -3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4y - 3 = 0
Isolate the y. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other side. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
4y - 3 (+3) = 0 (+3)
4y = 3
4y/4 = 3/4
y = 3/4
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = 3/4 is your answer

hope this helps
perp to x-3y=2 thru (2,4)
For perpendicular we swap the coefficients on x and y, negating one
3x + y = some constant
We get the constant in the obvious way from the point
3x + y = 3(2) + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10
Answer: 3x + y = 10
True. just like Texaschic101 said DV= M
