I'm assuming you want to solve for y right?


2x%2B3y=4 Start with the given equation.


3y=4-2x Subtract 2x from both sides.


3y=-2x%2B4 Rearrange the terms.


y=%28-2x%2B4%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate y.


y=%28%28-2%29%2F%283%29%29x%2B%284%29%2F%283%29 Break up the fraction.


y=-%282%2F3%29x%2B4%2F3 Reduce.
