-8x-2y=3\left(6x+20\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 24, the least common multiple of 24,8.
-8x-2y=18x+60
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 6x+20.
-8x-2y-18x=60
Subtract 18x from both sides.
-26x-2y=60
Combine -8x and -18x to get -26x.
-26x=60+2y
Add 2y to both sides.
-26x=2y+60
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-26x}{-26}=\frac{2y+60}{-26}
Divide both sides by -26.
x=\frac{2y+60}{-26}
Dividing by -26 undoes the multiplication by -26.
x=\frac{-y-30}{13}
Divide 60+2y by -26.
-8x-2y=3\left(6x+20\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 24, the least common multiple of 24,8.
-8x-2y=18x+60
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 6x+20.
-2y=18x+60+8x
Add 8x to both sides.
-2y=26x+60
Combine 18x and 8x to get 26x.
\frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{26x+60}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
y=\frac{26x+60}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
y=-13x-30
Divide 26x+60 by -2.
