You want your equation to be in the form y = mx + b.

To do so, isolate y in the given equation.

To isolate a letter means to place it alone on one side of the equation.

When we solve for a letter, it means to isolate the letter.

When they ask you to solve for x, y, z,or any other letter, it simply means to isolate the letter in question.

Understand?

3x - 2y = -16

-2y = -3x - 16

y = (3/2)x + 8

Do you see that y has been isolated?

Done!
