I dont get how to do it. And everytime i look for help, it's always shows more complicated than it seems.
Help?

"write each equation as a function in "y=..." form.
My first problem is . . .
3y= 15x - 12
-----
Divide each side of the equation by 3 to get:
(3y/3) = (15x-12)/3
----
Remember that the 3 on the right side is a common denominator.
---
y = (15x/3) - (12/3)
---
y = 5x - 4
