To solve for y, we can start by isolating y on one side of the equation.

First, we can subtract 3x from both sides of the equation to move the term containing x to the other side:

3x + 1/2y = -4

Subtracting 3x from both sides:

1/2y = -4 - 3x

Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to remove the fraction:

2 * (1/2y) = 2 * (-4 - 3x)

Simplifying the equation:

y = -8 - 6x

Therefore, the equation in terms of y is:

y = -8 - 6x
