A.  -24

B.  -\frac{3}{2}

C.  -\frac{2}{3}

D.  \frac{3}{2}

E.  24

CareerGeek · Answer

4x = 4y -6
4y - 4x = 6
4(y - x) = 6
y - x = 6/4 = 3/2

Option D

AyushCrackVerbal · Answer

As per the question:

4x = 4y - 6

6 = 4y - 4x

6 = 4(y-x)

y - x = 6/4

y - x = 3/2

The correct answer is  D

Archit3110 · Answer

given
4x=4y-6
3=2(y-x)
y-x=3/2
IMO D

ScottTargetTestPrep · Answer

We can create the equation:

4y - 6 = 4x

2y - 3 = 2x

2y - 2x = 3

y - x = 3/2

Answer: D

GMATINSECT · Answer

4x = 4y - 6
Or, -4y + 4x = - 6
Or, -4(y-x) = - 6   
Or, y -x = 6/4 = 3/2
