Question

The Equation is -6x - 4y = 36 . The Answer Choices are to the right of the equation labeled (Choice ...) Help Please!

Answer 1

-6x - 4y = 36

6x is subtracting on the left, then it will add on the right

-4y = 36 + 6x

-4 is multiplying on the left, then it will divide on the right

$y=\frac{36+6x}{-4}$

Distributing:

$\begin{gathered} y\text{ = }\frac{36}{-4}+\frac{6}{-4}x \\ y=-9-\frac{3}{2}x \\ y=-\frac{3}{2}x-9 \end{gathered}$
