Question

*please be serious* 3y = -x - 12 *solve for y

Answer 1

Y = -x/3 - 4

Divide both sides by 3. 12/3 is 4 and since we don’t know what x is, it’s -x/3.

Answer 2

Answer: $y=-\frac{1}{3}x-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for y, we want to make sure y is isolated. SInce y is already isolated, all we need to do is divide both sides of the equation by 3.

$3y=-x-12$          [divide both sides by 3]

$y=-\frac{x}{3} -4$ or $y=-\frac{1}{3}x-4$
