3\left(x+y\right)-2\left(x-1\right)=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
3x+3y-2\left(x-1\right)=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+y.
3x+3y-2x+2=0
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x-1.
x+3y+2=0
Combine 3x and -2x to get x.
x+2=-3y
Subtract 3y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=-3y-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
3\left(x+y\right)-2\left(x-1\right)=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
3x+3y-2\left(x-1\right)=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+y.
3x+3y-2x+2=0
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x-1.
x+3y+2=0
Combine 3x and -2x to get x.
3y+2=-x
Subtract x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
3y=-x-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{-x-2}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
y=\frac{-x-2}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
