<PRE><B>Question 217341</B>
{{{12x-6y=18}}} how do i go about solving what y is?


Step 1.  Add 6y to both sides of the equation to get a positive 6y


{{{12x-6y+6y=18+6y}}}


{{{12x=18+6y}}}


Step 2.  Subtract 18 from both sides of the equation to get 6y by itself on the right side.


{{{12x-18=18+6y-18}}}


{{{12x-18=6y}}}


Step 3.  Divide 6 to both sides of the equation


{{{12x/6-18/6=6y/6}}}


{{{2x-3=y}}} or {{{y=2x-3}}}


Step 4.  ANSWER:  {{{y=2x-3}}}



I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
