Question

How do you solve for y `8x-12y = 24`?

Answer 1

You may notice that all co-efficients may be divided by 4.

`->2x-3y=6`
Now put the `y`'s to one side, and the rest to the other:
`->2x+6=3y`

Divide everything by 3:

`->2/3 x+2=y->y=2/3 x+2`

Or:
You can solve for `x`:
`->2x=3y+6->x=1 1/2 y+3`

(both slope-intercept)
