Solve Literal Equations

3x + y = 12 Solve for y

• y = -3x +12
• x = y + 4
• x = y + 12
• y = 3x -12

x + y = 4 Solve for y

• y = x + 4
• y = -x + 4
• x = -y + 4
• x= y - 4

5x - y = 16 Solve for y

• -y = 5x + 16
• y = 5x + 16
• x = 5y - 16
• y = 5x - 16

2x + y = 41 Solve for y

• x = 2y + 41
• y = 2x -41
• y = -2x + 41
• x = y -39
