Answer

$y=\dfrac{3}{2}x-3$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of equality, in terms of $ y ,$ the given equation, $ \dfrac{1}{2}x-\dfrac{1}{3}y=1 ,$ is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 6\left(\dfrac{1}{2}x-\dfrac{1}{3}y\right)=(1)6 \\\\ 3x-2y=6 \\\\ -2y=-3x+6 \\\\ y=\dfrac{-3}{-2}x+\dfrac{6}{-2} \\\\ y=\dfrac{3}{2}x-3 .\end{array}
