Answer

$y=-12x+16$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow 11-\frac{1}{2}y=3+6x$ Subtract $11$ from each side. $\Rightarrow 11-\frac{1}{2}y-11=3+6x-11$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow -\frac{1}{2}y=6x-8$ Multiply each side by $-2$. $\Rightarrow -2\cdot (-\frac{1}{2}y)=-2\cdot (6x-8)$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=-12x+16$ Hence, the rewritten literal equation is $y=-12x+16$.
