3\left(y+2\right)+4\left(x-5\right)=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 4,3.
3y+6+4\left(x-5\right)=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by y+2.
3y+6+4x-20=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x-5.
3y-14+4x=0
Subtract 20 from 6 to get -14.
-14+4x=-3y
Subtract 3y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
4x=-3y+14
Add 14 to both sides.
4x=14-3y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{14-3y}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=\frac{14-3y}{4}
Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.
x=-\frac{3y}{4}+\frac{7}{2}
Divide -3y+14 by 4.
3\left(y+2\right)+4\left(x-5\right)=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 4,3.
3y+6+4\left(x-5\right)=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by y+2.
3y+6+4x-20=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x-5.
3y-14+4x=0
Subtract 20 from 6 to get -14.
3y+4x=14
Add 14 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
3y=14-4x
Subtract 4x from both sides.
\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{14-4x}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
y=\frac{14-4x}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
