(1/12)y +3=11
---------------------
Subtract 3 from both sides to get:
(1/12)y = 8
Multiply both sides by 12 to get:
y = 96

(1/12)y + 3 = 11
Subtract 3 on both sides.
(1/12)y + 3 -3 = 11 -3
Simplify
(1/12)y = 8
We want y to have a coefficient of 1 so we need to multiply by 12 on both sides.

Simplify
