3\left(x-2\right)+4\left(3y+1\right)+14=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 4,3,6.
3x-6+4\left(3y+1\right)+14=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-2.
3x-6+12y+4+14=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 3y+1.
3x-2+12y+14=0
Add -6 and 4 to get -2.
3x+12+12y=0
Add -2 and 14 to get 12.
3x+12y=-12
Subtract 12 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
3x=-12-12y
Subtract 12y from both sides.
3x=-12y-12
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{-12y-12}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{-12y-12}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
x=-4y-4
Divide -12-12y by 3.
