2\left(4x-y\right)=x+3y
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4, the least common multiple of 2,4.
8x-2y=x+3y
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 4x-y.
8x-2y-x=3y
Subtract x from both sides.
7x-2y=3y
Combine 8x and -x to get 7x.
7x=3y+2y
Add 2y to both sides.
7x=5y
Combine 3y and 2y to get 5y.
\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{5y}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
x=\frac{5y}{7}
Dividing by 7 undoes the multiplication by 7.
2\left(4x-y\right)=x+3y
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4, the least common multiple of 2,4.
8x-2y=x+3y
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 4x-y.
8x-2y-3y=x
Subtract 3y from both sides.
8x-5y=x
Combine -2y and -3y to get -5y.
-5y=x-8x
Subtract 8x from both sides.
-5y=-7x
Combine x and -8x to get -7x.
\frac{-5y}{-5}=-\frac{7x}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
y=-\frac{7x}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
y=\frac{7x}{5}
Divide -7x by -5.
