Solve for y:
0.5 x-0.75 y = -2
0.5 x-0.75 y = x/2-(3 y)/4:
x/2-(3 y)/4 = -2
Subtract x/2 from both sides:
-(3 y)/4 = 1/2 (-4-x)
Multiply both sides by -4/3:
Answer: |y = (2 (x+4))/3
Solve for y:
0.5x-0.75y = -2 | Given
-0.75y = -2-0.5x | Subtraction Property of Equality
y = 2.6+0.6x | Division Property of Equality
Sorry if it's wrong. I think that's how you'd solve it though.
(Also, the decimals are rounded.)
