Question

solve $8x - 2y = 12$ for $y$. \
\
\bigcirc a. $y = 8x + 6$ \
\
\bigcirc b. $y = 4x - 12$ \
\
\bigcirc c. $y = -8x + 12$ \
\
\bigcirc d. $y = 4x - 6$

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the y-term

$8x - 2y = 12 \implies -2y = 12 - 8x$

Step2: Solve for y (divide by -2)

$y = \frac{12 - 8x}{-2} = 4x - 6$

Answer:

D. $y = 4x - 6$
