3\left(y-x\right)+5\left(3x+y\right)=-4
Multiply both sides of the equation by 15, the least common multiple of 5,3,15.
3y-3x+5\left(3x+y\right)=-4
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by y-x.
3y-3x+15x+5y=-4
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 3x+y.
3y+12x+5y=-4
Combine -3x and 15x to get 12x.
8y+12x=-4
Combine 3y and 5y to get 8y.
12x=-4-8y
Subtract 8y from both sides.
12x=-8y-4
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{12x}{12}=\frac{-8y-4}{12}
Divide both sides by 12.
x=\frac{-8y-4}{12}
Dividing by 12 undoes the multiplication by 12.
