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