96x-72\times 8=2y
Multiply both sides of the equation by 8.
96x-576=2y
Multiply 72 and 8 to get 576.
96x=2y+576
Add 576 to both sides.
\frac{96x}{96}=\frac{2y+576}{96}
Divide both sides by 96.
x=\frac{2y+576}{96}
Dividing by 96 undoes the multiplication by 96.
x=\frac{y}{48}+6
Divide 576+2y by 96.
96x-72\times 8=2y
Multiply both sides of the equation by 8.
96x-576=2y
Multiply 72 and 8 to get 576.
2y=96x-576
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{96x-576}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=\frac{96x-576}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
y=48x-288
Divide -576+96x by 2.
