-12x=17+3y
Add 3y to both sides.
-12x=3y+17
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-12x}{-12}=\frac{3y+17}{-12}
Divide both sides by -12.
x=\frac{3y+17}{-12}
Dividing by -12 undoes the multiplication by -12.
x=-\frac{y}{4}-\frac{17}{12}
Divide 17+3y by -12.
-3y=17+12x
Add 12x to both sides.
-3y=12x+17
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-3y}{-3}=\frac{12x+17}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
y=\frac{12x+17}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
y=-4x-\frac{17}{3}
Divide 17+12x by -3.
