Solve the given equation for the variable indicated. 3 x + 8 y = 11 for y
A) $y = \frac { 11 - 3 x } { 8 }$
B) $y = \frac { 12 - 3 x } { 9 }$
C) $y = \frac { 11 - 8 x } { 3 }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve for y, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation. Subtracting 3x from both sides, we get:

3x + 8y - 3x = 11 - 3x

Simplifying, we get:

8y = 11 - 3x

Dividing both sides by 8, we get:

y = (11 - 3x)/8

Therefore, the correct choice is A.
