\left(x-3\right)\left(-4\right)=-5\left(-0,5-y\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to 3 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 5\left(x-3\right), the least common multiple of 5;3-x.
-4x+12=-5\left(-0,5-y\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply x-3 by -4.
-4x+12=2,5+5y
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by -0,5-y.
-4x=2,5+5y-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
-4x=-9,5+5y
Subtract 12 from 2,5 to get -9,5.
-4x=5y-9,5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{5y-9,5}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
x=\frac{5y-9,5}{-4}
Dividing by -4 undoes the multiplication by -4.
x=-\frac{5y}{4}+\frac{19}{8}
Divide -9,5+5y by -4.
x=-\frac{5y}{4}+\frac{19}{8}\text{, }x\neq 3
Variable x cannot be equal to 3.
\left(x-3\right)\left(-4\right)=-5\left(-0,5-y\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5\left(x-3\right), the least common multiple of 5;3-x.
-4x+12=-5\left(-0,5-y\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply x-3 by -4.
-4x+12=2,5+5y
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by -0,5-y.
2,5+5y=-4x+12
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
5y=-4x+12-2,5
Subtract 2,5 from both sides.
5y=-4x+9,5
Subtract 2,5 from 12 to get 9,5.
5y=9,5-4x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{9,5-4x}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
y=\frac{9,5-4x}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
y=-\frac{4x}{5}+\frac{19}{10}
Divide -4x+9,5 by 5.
