Question

1. 2x + 3y = 12; y

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the y-term

Subtract $2x$ from both sides.
$2x + 3y - 2x = 12 - 2x$
Simplify to get: $3y = 12 - 2x$

Step2: Solve for y

Divide both sides by 3.
$\frac{3y}{3} = \frac{12 - 2x}{3}$
Simplify the expression.

Answer:

$y = 4 - \frac{2}{3}x$ or $y = \frac{12 - 2x}{3}$
