1.5\times 12y+4y\left(-x+12\right)=34\left(-x+12\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to 12 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by -x+12.
18y+4y\left(-x+12\right)=34\left(-x+12\right)
Multiply 1.5 and 12 to get 18.
18y-4xy+48y=34\left(-x+12\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 4y by -x+12.
66y-4xy=34\left(-x+12\right)
Combine 18y and 48y to get 66y.
66y-4xy=-34x+408
Use the distributive property to multiply 34 by -x+12.
66y-4xy+34x=408
Add 34x to both sides.
-4xy+34x=408-66y
Subtract 66y from both sides.
\left(-4y+34\right)x=408-66y
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(34-4y\right)x=408-66y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(34-4y\right)x}{34-4y}=\frac{408-66y}{34-4y}
Divide both sides by -4y+34.
x=\frac{408-66y}{34-4y}
Dividing by -4y+34 undoes the multiplication by -4y+34.
x=\frac{3\left(68-11y\right)}{17-2y}
Divide 408-66y by -4y+34.
x=\frac{3\left(68-11y\right)}{17-2y}\text{, }x\neq 12
Variable x cannot be equal to 12.
1.5\times 12y+4y\left(-x+12\right)=34\left(-x+12\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by -x+12.
18y+4y\left(-x+12\right)=34\left(-x+12\right)
Multiply 1.5 and 12 to get 18.
18y-4xy+48y=34\left(-x+12\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 4y by -x+12.
66y-4xy=34\left(-x+12\right)
Combine 18y and 48y to get 66y.
66y-4xy=-34x+408
Use the distributive property to multiply 34 by -x+12.
\left(66-4x\right)y=-34x+408
Combine all terms containing y.
\left(66-4x\right)y=408-34x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(66-4x\right)y}{66-4x}=\frac{408-34x}{66-4x}
Divide both sides by 66-4x.
y=\frac{408-34x}{66-4x}
Dividing by 66-4x undoes the multiplication by 66-4x.
y=\frac{17\left(12-x\right)}{33-2x}
Divide -34x+408 by 66-4x.
