[tex] \frac{-7}{12} = \frac{y}{-36} [/tex]
First, simplify [tex] \frac{y}{-36} [/tex] to [tex]- \frac{y}{36} [/tex] / Your problem should look like: [tex]- \frac{7}{12} = -\frac{y}{36} [/tex]
Second, multiply both sides by 36. / Your problem should look like: [tex]-21=-y[/tex]
Third, multiply both sides by -1. / Your problem should look like: [tex]21 = y[/tex]
Fourth, switch your sides. / Your problem should look like: [tex]y = 21[/tex]
Answer: C) 21
