12x+6=-8y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
12x=-8y-6
Subtract 6 from both sides.
\frac{12x}{12}=\frac{-8y-6}{12}
Divide both sides by 12.
x=\frac{-8y-6}{12}
Dividing by 12 undoes the multiplication by 12.
x=-\frac{2y}{3}-\frac{1}{2}
Divide -8y-6 by 12.
-8y=12x+6
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-8y}{-8}=\frac{12x+6}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
y=\frac{12x+6}{-8}
Dividing by -8 undoes the multiplication by -8.
y=-\frac{3x}{2}-\frac{3}{4}
Divide 12x+6 by -8.
