10+30by+120y=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 10y by 3b+12.
30by+120y=-10
Subtract 10 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
30by=-10-120y
Subtract 120y from both sides.
30yb=-120y-10
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{30yb}{30y}=\frac{-120y-10}{30y}
Divide both sides by 30y.
b=\frac{-120y-10}{30y}
Dividing by 30y undoes the multiplication by 30y.
b=-4-\frac{1}{3y}
Divide -10-120y by 30y.
10+30by+120y=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 10y by 3b+12.
30by+120y=-10
Subtract 10 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(30b+120\right)y=-10
Combine all terms containing y.
\frac{\left(30b+120\right)y}{30b+120}=-\frac{10}{30b+120}
Divide both sides by 30b+120.
y=-\frac{10}{30b+120}
Dividing by 30b+120 undoes the multiplication by 30b+120.
y=-\frac{1}{3\left(b+4\right)}
Divide -10 by 30b+120.
