-3x-21-9x=13y-5
Subtract 9x from both sides.
-12x-21=13y-5
Combine -3x and -9x to get -12x.
-12x=13y-5+21
Add 21 to both sides.
-12x=13y+16
Add -5 and 21 to get 16.
\frac{-12x}{-12}=\frac{13y+16}{-12}
Divide both sides by -12.
x=\frac{13y+16}{-12}
Dividing by -12 undoes the multiplication by -12.
x=-\frac{13y}{12}-\frac{4}{3}
Divide 13y+16 by -12.
13y+9x-5=-3x-21
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
13y-5=-3x-21-9x
Subtract 9x from both sides.
13y-5=-12x-21
Combine -3x and -9x to get -12x.
13y=-12x-21+5
Add 5 to both sides.
13y=-12x-16
Add -21 and 5 to get -16.
\frac{13y}{13}=\frac{-12x-16}{13}
Divide both sides by 13.
y=\frac{-12x-16}{13}
Dividing by 13 undoes the multiplication by 13.
