\frac{3}{4}x-2y=8
Divide 6 by 3 to get 2.
\frac{3}{4}x=8+2y
Add 2y to both sides.
\frac{3}{4}x=2y+8
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\frac{3}{4}x}{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{2y+8}{\frac{3}{4}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{3}{4}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{2y+8}{\frac{3}{4}}
Dividing by \frac{3}{4} undoes the multiplication by \frac{3}{4}.
x=\frac{8y+32}{3}
Divide 8+2y by \frac{3}{4} by multiplying 8+2y by the reciprocal of \frac{3}{4}.
\frac{3}{4}x-2y=8
Divide 6 by 3 to get 2.
-2y=8-\frac{3}{4}x
Subtract \frac{3}{4}x from both sides.
-2y=-\frac{3x}{4}+8
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{-\frac{3x}{4}+8}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
y=\frac{-\frac{3x}{4}+8}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
y=\frac{3x}{8}-4
Divide 8-\frac{3x}{4} by -2.
