Sure, let's solve the equation step-by-step.
The given equation is [tex]\( 12y = 132 \)[/tex].
1. The first step is to isolate [tex]\( y \)[/tex]. To do this, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 12:
[tex]\[ \frac{12y}{12} = \frac{132}{12} \][/tex]
2. Simplifying both sides of the equation:
[tex]\[ y = \frac{132}{12} \][/tex]
3. Now, we perform the division on the right side:
[tex]\[ y = 11 \][/tex]
So, the solution to the equation [tex]\( 12y = 132 \)[/tex] is [tex]\( y = 11 \)[/tex].
Therefore, the best answer is:
A. [tex]\( y = 11 \)[/tex]
