\left(35-x\right)\left(4-y\right)=\left(x-30\right)\left(y-10\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values 30,35 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(x-35\right)\left(x-30\right), the least common multiple of 30-x,x-35.
140-35y-4x+yx=\left(x-30\right)\left(y-10\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 35-x by 4-y.
140-35y-4x+yx=xy-10x-30y+300
Use the distributive property to multiply x-30 by y-10.
140-35y-4x+yx-xy=-10x-30y+300
Subtract xy from both sides.
140-35y-4x=-10x-30y+300
Combine yx and -xy to get 0.
140-35y-4x+10x=-30y+300
Add 10x to both sides.
140-35y+6x=-30y+300
Combine -4x and 10x to get 6x.
-35y+6x=-30y+300-140
Subtract 140 from both sides.
-35y+6x=-30y+160
Subtract 140 from 300 to get 160.
6x=-30y+160+35y
Add 35y to both sides.
6x=5y+160
Combine -30y and 35y to get 5y.
\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{5y+160}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x=\frac{5y+160}{6}
Dividing by 6 undoes the multiplication by 6.
x=\frac{5y}{6}+\frac{80}{3}
Divide 160+5y by 6.
x=\frac{5y}{6}+\frac{80}{3}\text{, }x\neq 30\text{ and }x\neq 35
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values 30,35.
\left(35-x\right)\left(4-y\right)=\left(x-30\right)\left(y-10\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(x-35\right)\left(x-30\right), the least common multiple of 30-x,x-35.
140-35y-4x+yx=\left(x-30\right)\left(y-10\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 35-x by 4-y.
140-35y-4x+yx=xy-10x-30y+300
Use the distributive property to multiply x-30 by y-10.
140-35y-4x+yx-xy=-10x-30y+300
Subtract xy from both sides.
140-35y-4x=-10x-30y+300
Combine yx and -xy to get 0.
140-35y-4x+30y=-10x+300
Add 30y to both sides.
140-5y-4x=-10x+300
Combine -35y and 30y to get -5y.
-5y-4x=-10x+300-140
Subtract 140 from both sides.
-5y-4x=-10x+160
Subtract 140 from 300 to get 160.
-5y=-10x+160+4x
Add 4x to both sides.
-5y=-6x+160
Combine -10x and 4x to get -6x.
-5y=160-6x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{160-6x}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
y=\frac{160-6x}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
y=\frac{6x}{5}-32
Divide -6x+160 by -5.
