Question 235298: Rewrite so that y is a function of x
7x-4x+12=36-5y
In this equation I am trying to decide if I have to move the X to the right and the Y to left or not.
I did this and my answer is Y=-3x/5+24/5 but I am not sure if this is correct.
Please help!

You are correct. However, you might see the answer as y=-%283%2F5%29x%2B24%2F5 (I just rearranged the first fraction). These two equations are equivalent nonetheless.
