Solve for y 3(y+4)=x

$3 (y + 4) = x$

Divide each term in $3 (y + 4) = x$ by $3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $3 (y + 4) = x$ by $3$ .

$\frac{3 (y + 4)}{3} = \frac{x}{3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 (y + 4)}{3} = \frac{x}{3}$

Divide $y + 4$ by $1$ .

$y + 4 = \frac{x}{3}$

Subtract $4$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = \frac{x}{3} - 4$
