3xy+6x=12y
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3y.
\left(3y+6\right)x=12y
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(3y+6\right)x}{3y+6}=\frac{12y}{3y+6}
Divide both sides by 3y+6.
x=\frac{12y}{3y+6}
Dividing by 3y+6 undoes the multiplication by 3y+6.
x=\frac{4y}{y+2}
Divide 12y by 3y+6.
3xy+6x=12y
Variable y cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3y.
3xy+6x-12y=0
Subtract 12y from both sides.
3xy-12y=-6x
Subtract 6x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(3x-12\right)y=-6x
Combine all terms containing y.
\frac{\left(3x-12\right)y}{3x-12}=-\frac{6x}{3x-12}
Divide both sides by 3x-12.
y=-\frac{6x}{3x-12}
Dividing by 3x-12 undoes the multiplication by 3x-12.
y=-\frac{2x}{x-4}
Divide -6x by 3x-12.
y=-\frac{2x}{x-4}\text{, }y\neq 0
Variable y cannot be equal to 0.
