Solve (x-2y)=-12x

$$( x - 2 y ) = - 12 x$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{2y}{13}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 12x to both sides.

$$x-2y+12x=0$$

Combine x and 12x to get 13x.

$$13x-2y=0$$

Add 2y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$13x=2y$$

Divide both sides by 13.

$$\frac{13x}{13}=\frac{2y}{13}$$

Dividing by 13 undoes the multiplication by 13.

$$x=\frac{2y}{13}$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{13x}{2}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract x from both sides.

$$-2y=-12x-x$$

Combine -12x and -x to get -13x.

$$-2y=-13x$$

Divide both sides by -2.

$$\frac{-2y}{-2}=-\frac{13x}{-2}$$

Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.

$$y=-\frac{13x}{-2}$$

Divide -13x by -2.

$$y=\frac{13x}{2}$$
