\frac{5}{3}x+12=6y
Add 6y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\frac{5}{3}x=6y-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
\frac{\frac{5}{3}x}{\frac{5}{3}}=\frac{6y-12}{\frac{5}{3}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{5}{3}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{6y-12}{\frac{5}{3}}
Dividing by \frac{5}{3} undoes the multiplication by \frac{5}{3}.
x=\frac{18y-36}{5}
Divide -12+6y by \frac{5}{3} by multiplying -12+6y by the reciprocal of \frac{5}{3}.
-6y+12=-\frac{5}{3}x
Subtract \frac{5}{3}x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-6y=-\frac{5}{3}x-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
-6y=-\frac{5x}{3}-12
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-6y}{-6}=\frac{-\frac{5x}{3}-12}{-6}
Divide both sides by -6.
y=\frac{-\frac{5x}{3}-12}{-6}
Dividing by -6 undoes the multiplication by -6.
y=\frac{5x}{18}+2
Divide -\frac{5x}{3}-12 by -6.
