y = (4x-6)/2y=4x62

Explanation:

Although we cannot solve for yy because we don't know anything about xx, we can express yy in terms of xx. First, subtract 4x4x from both sides:

6 - 4x = cancel(4x) cancel(-4x) - 2y

Then, multiply both sides by -1 to get rid of the minus sign on y:

4x - 6 = 2y

Finally, divide both sides by 2:

y = (4x - 6)/2.
