3x+4=-4\left(-3y+1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2\left(-3y+1\right).
3x+4=12y-4
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by -3y+1.
3x=12y-4-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
3x=12y-8
Subtract 4 from -4 to get -8.
\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{12y-8}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{12y-8}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
x=4y-\frac{8}{3}
Divide 12y-8 by 3.
3x+4=-4\left(-3y+1\right)
Variable y cannot be equal to \frac{1}{3} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2\left(-3y+1\right).
3x+4=12y-4
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by -3y+1.
12y-4=3x+4
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
12y=3x+4+4
Add 4 to both sides.
12y=3x+8
Add 4 and 4 to get 8.
\frac{12y}{12}=\frac{3x+8}{12}
Divide both sides by 12.
y=\frac{3x+8}{12}
Dividing by 12 undoes the multiplication by 12.
y=\frac{x}{4}+\frac{2}{3}
Divide 3x+8 by 12.
y=\frac{x}{4}+\frac{2}{3}\text{, }y\neq \frac{1}{3}
Variable y cannot be equal to \frac{1}{3}.
