Determine whether the given equation defines y as a function
     Determine whether the given equation defines y as a function of x.  3x + 4y = 12 
  
  Solution
given 3x+4y=12
subtract 3x on both sides
3x+4y-3x=12-3x
4y=12-3x
divide both side with 4
4y/4=(12-3x)/4
y=3-3x/4
therefore y can be writtens as a function of x as y=3-3x//4
