PLEASE ANSWER QUICKLY WITH SHORT EXPLANATION AS WELL WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!! The equation 9 y minus 12 x = 36 is written in stand
ard form. What is the first step when writing an equivalent equation which solves for y? Divide both sides of the equation by 12. Multiply both sides of the equation by 12. Add 12x to both sides of the equation. Subtract 12x from both sides of the equation.
Since you are solving for in terms of <em>y</em>, you need to isolate the <em>y </em>variable. To do so, your first step is to add 12x to both sides because you need to get rid of 12x on the left side. However, you also need to add 12x to the right side or else the expression would change.
