Alright so lets break this down!
What we are looking at is:
y = 3x - 4
the question is
<em>what is the value of x when y = 5?</em>
This means all we have to do is plug in 5 for y and solve for x
y = 5
x = ?
therefore,
5 = 3x - 4
Now some algebra,
5 + 4 = 3x
9 = 3x
9/3 = x
<em>3 = x</em>
Now our concluding statement:
The value of x is 3 when y is equal to 5
Sometimes all you have to do is turn words into numbers and numbers into words!
Good luck! I hope this was helpful.
1/2 probability of getting heads
1/6 probability of getting a 3
1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12 probability

The trivial approach is to write it like this:
3(x-4)(x+3) = 0, apparently the roots are 4 and -3, and leading coefficient is 3
