-4y - 20 +19= -y + 17 2. Solve for y

i posted the same question but they didn’t tell me how they got it so could someone show me how they got the answer pleaseee

y= -6

Step-by-step explanation:

-4y - 20 + 19 = -y + 17        *add y on the right to get rid of -y

+y                    +y                then add it to -4y

-3y - 20 + 19 = 17               *add 20 to the left to get rid of -20  

     +20           +20              then add it to 17

-3y + 19 = 37                      *subtract 19 from the left to get rid of 19

       -19    -19                      then subtrcat 19 from 37 as well

-3y = 18                             *now we want to divide both sides by -3 to

-3      -3                               get y by it's self

y = -6                                *no we're left with y = -6 :D

- im sorry if this doesn't make sense x(

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
