4\times 3x-5y=180
Multiply both sides of the equation by 20, the least common multiple of 5,4.
12x-5y=180
Multiply 4 and 3 to get 12.
12x=180+5y
Add 5y to both sides.
12x=5y+180
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{12x}{12}=\frac{5y+180}{12}
Divide both sides by 12.
x=\frac{5y+180}{12}
Dividing by 12 undoes the multiplication by 12.
x=\frac{5y}{12}+15
Divide 180+5y by 12.
4\times 3x-5y=180
Multiply both sides of the equation by 20, the least common multiple of 5,4.
12x-5y=180
Multiply 4 and 3 to get 12.
-5y=180-12x
Subtract 12x from both sides.
\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{180-12x}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
y=\frac{180-12x}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
y=\frac{12x}{5}-36
Divide 180-12x by -5.
