\frac{x+y^{2}-42}{2xy}=\frac{5}{12}
Divide both sides by 12.
6\left(x+y^{2}-42\right)=5xy
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 12xy, the least common multiple of 2xy,12.
6x+6y^{2}-252=5xy
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by x+y^{2}-42.
6x+6y^{2}-252-5xy=0
Subtract 5xy from both sides.
6x-252-5xy=-6y^{2}
Subtract 6y^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
6x-5xy=-6y^{2}+252
Add 252 to both sides.
\left(6-5y\right)x=-6y^{2}+252
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(6-5y\right)x=252-6y^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(6-5y\right)x}{6-5y}=\frac{252-6y^{2}}{6-5y}
Divide both sides by 6-5y.
x=\frac{252-6y^{2}}{6-5y}
Dividing by 6-5y undoes the multiplication by 6-5y.
x=\frac{6\left(42-y^{2}\right)}{6-5y}
Divide -6y^{2}+252 by 6-5y.
x=\frac{6\left(42-y^{2}\right)}{6-5y}\text{, }x\neq 0
Variable x cannot be equal to 0.
\frac{x+y^{2}-42}{2xy}=\frac{5}{12}
