8y=120-3x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 24, the least common multiple of 3,8.
120-3x=8y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-3x=8y-120
Subtract 120 from both sides.
\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{8y-120}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=\frac{8y-120}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
x=-\frac{8y}{3}+40
Divide -120+8y by -3.
8y=120-3x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 24, the least common multiple of 3,8.
\frac{8y}{8}=\frac{120-3x}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
y=\frac{120-3x}{8}
Dividing by 8 undoes the multiplication by 8.
y=-\frac{3x}{8}+15
Divide 120-3x by 8.
