$4 x - 3 y = 12$ $4x-3y=12$

Rearrange the equation so that $3 y$ $3y$ is isolated from other values:

$4 x - 12 = 3 y$ $4x-12=3y$

Now, we can find $y$ $y$ by dividing the all values in the equation by 3.

$\frac{4 x - 12}{3} = \frac{3 y}{3}$ $(4x-12)/3=(3y)/3$

$\frac{4}{3} x - 4 = y$ $4/3x-4 = y$

$y = \frac{4}{3} x - 4$ $y=4/3x-4$

How do you solve for y : 4x−3y=124x- 3y = 12?
