Answer: [tex]y=-\frac{1}{3}x-4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for y, we want to make sure y is isolated. SInce y is already isolated, all we need to do is divide both sides of the equation by 3.

[tex]3y=-x-12[/tex]          [divide both sides by 3]

[tex]y=-\frac{x}{3} -4[/tex] or [tex]y=-\frac{1}{3}x-4[/tex]

y = -x/3 - 4

Divide both sides by 3. 12/3 is 4 and since we don’t know what x is, it’s -x/3.
