1. solve -y/12 = 6 2. solve x/4 = 8

1. Isolate the y. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, multiply 12 to both sides

-y/12(12) = 6(12)

-y = 6(12)

-y = 72

Isolate the y. Divide -1 from both sides

-y/-1 = 72/-1

y = -72

-72 is your answer for y

2. Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

x/4 = 8

First, multiply 4 to both sides

x/4(4) = 8(4)

x = 8(4)

x = 32

32 is your answer for x
