-4x+2y-8x=-6
Subtract 8x from both sides.
-12x+2y=-6
Combine -4x and -8x to get -12x.
-12x=-6-2y
Subtract 2y from both sides.
-12x=-2y-6
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-12x}{-12}=\frac{-2y-6}{-12}
Divide both sides by -12.
x=\frac{-2y-6}{-12}
Dividing by -12 undoes the multiplication by -12.
x=\frac{y}{6}+\frac{1}{2}
Divide -6-2y by -12.
2y=8x-6+4x
Add 4x to both sides.
2y=12x-6
Combine 8x and 4x to get 12x.
\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{12x-6}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=\frac{12x-6}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
y=6x-3
Divide 12x-6 by 2.
