12m-4n=5mn+10n
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
12m-4n-5mn=10n
Subtract 5mn from both sides.
12m-5mn=10n+4n
Add 4n to both sides.
12m-5mn=14n
Combine 10n and 4n to get 14n.
\left(12-5n\right)m=14n
Combine all terms containing m.
\frac{\left(12-5n\right)m}{12-5n}=\frac{14n}{12-5n}
Divide both sides by 12-5n.
m=\frac{14n}{12-5n}
Dividing by 12-5n undoes the multiplication by 12-5n.
12m-4n=5mn+10n
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
12m-4n-5mn=10n
Subtract 5mn from both sides.
12m-4n-5mn-10n=0
Subtract 10n from both sides.
12m-14n-5mn=0
Combine -4n and -10n to get -14n.
-14n-5mn=-12m
Subtract 12m from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(-14-5m\right)n=-12m
Combine all terms containing n.
\left(-5m-14\right)n=-12m
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-5m-14\right)n}{-5m-14}=-\frac{12m}{-5m-14}
Divide both sides by -14-5m.
n=-\frac{12m}{-5m-14}
Dividing by -14-5m undoes the multiplication by -14-5m.
n=\frac{12m}{5m+14}
Divide -12m by -14-5m.
