Plz help ! Analyze the work used to write an equivalent equation for y. 3y = 36 – 5x 1.  Divide both sides by 3: StartFraction 3 y Over 3 EndFraction = StartFraction 36 over 3 EndFraction minus 5 x. y = 12 minus 5 x. What can you conclude about the work? The work was completed correctly. Both sides needed to be multiplied by 3, rather than divided by 3. When dividing 36 by 3, the answer should have been 1/12, not 12. Both terms on the right side need to be divided by 3, not just the 36.
