y-6x=2y+\frac{1}{2}\left(3x-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by \frac{1}{2}y-3x.
y-6x=2y+\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply \frac{1}{2} by 3x-1.
y-6x-\frac{3}{2}x=2y-\frac{1}{2}
Subtract \frac{3}{2}x from both sides.
y-\frac{15}{2}x=2y-\frac{1}{2}
Combine -6x and -\frac{3}{2}x to get -\frac{15}{2}x.
-\frac{15}{2}x=2y-\frac{1}{2}-y
Subtract y from both sides.
-\frac{15}{2}x=y-\frac{1}{2}
Combine 2y and -y to get y.
\frac{-\frac{15}{2}x}{-\frac{15}{2}}=\frac{y-\frac{1}{2}}{-\frac{15}{2}}
Divide both sides of the equation by -\frac{15}{2}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{y-\frac{1}{2}}{-\frac{15}{2}}
Dividing by -\frac{15}{2} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{15}{2}.
x=\frac{1-2y}{15}
Divide y-\frac{1}{2} by -\frac{15}{2} by multiplying y-\frac{1}{2} by the reciprocal of -\frac{15}{2}.
y-6x=2y+\frac{1}{2}\left(3x-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by \frac{1}{2}y-3x.
y-6x=2y+\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply \frac{1}{2} by 3x-1.
y-6x-2y=\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}
Subtract 2y from both sides.
-y-6x=\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}
Combine y and -2y to get -y.
-y=\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}+6x
Add 6x to both sides.
-y=\frac{15}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}
Combine \frac{3}{2}x and 6x to get \frac{15}{2}x.
-y=\frac{15x-1}{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{15x-1}{-2}
Divide both sides by -1.
y=\frac{15x-1}{-2}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
y=\frac{1-15x}{2}
Divide \frac{15x-1}{2} by -1.
