x\sqrt{3}=3\left(y+24\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3x, the least common multiple of 3,x.
x\sqrt{3}=3y+72
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by y+24.
\sqrt{3}x=3y+72
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\sqrt{3}x}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{3y+72}{\sqrt{3}}
Divide both sides by \sqrt{3}.
x=\frac{3y+72}{\sqrt{3}}
Dividing by \sqrt{3} undoes the multiplication by \sqrt{3}.
x=\sqrt{3}\left(y+24\right)
Divide 72+3y by \sqrt{3}.
x=\sqrt{3}\left(y+24\right)\text{, }x\neq 0
Variable x cannot be equal to 0.
x\sqrt{3}=3\left(y+24\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3x, the least common multiple of 3,x.
x\sqrt{3}=3y+72
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by y+24.
3y+72=x\sqrt{3}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
3y=x\sqrt{3}-72
Subtract 72 from both sides.
3y=\sqrt{3}x-72
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{\sqrt{3}x-72}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
y=\frac{\sqrt{3}x-72}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
y=\frac{\sqrt{3}x}{3}-24
Divide x\sqrt{3}-72 by 3.
