20x+30y=3x+2y\times 8
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x+3y by 10.
20x+30y=3x+16y
Multiply 2 and 8 to get 16.
20x+30y-3x=16y
Subtract 3x from both sides.
17x+30y=16y
Combine 20x and -3x to get 17x.
17x=16y-30y
Subtract 30y from both sides.
17x=-14y
Combine 16y and -30y to get -14y.
\frac{17x}{17}=-\frac{14y}{17}
Divide both sides by 17.
x=-\frac{14y}{17}
Dividing by 17 undoes the multiplication by 17.
