Question

How do you solve for y given `3x-5y+4=0`?

Answer 1

Get y on the left and everything else on the right of the equals sign.

Explanation:

`3x - 5y + 4 - 3x = 0 - 3x`
`-5y + 4 = - 3x`
`-5y + 4 - 4 = -3x - 4`
`-5y = - 3x - 4` (multiply by -1 throughout)
`5y = 3x + 4`
`5y/5 = (3x + 4)/5`
`y = (3x + 4)/5`
