2x+y\times 5-12x=0
Subtract 12x from both sides.
-10x+y\times 5=0
Combine 2x and -12x to get -10x.
-10x=-y\times 5
Subtract y\times 5 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-10x=-5y
Multiply -1 and 5 to get -5.
\frac{-10x}{-10}=-\frac{5y}{-10}
Divide both sides by -10.
x=-\frac{5y}{-10}
Dividing by -10 undoes the multiplication by -10.
x=\frac{y}{2}
Divide -5y by -10.
y\times 5=12x-2x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
y\times 5=10x
Combine 12x and -2x to get 10x.
5y=10x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{10x}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
y=\frac{10x}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
y=2x
Divide 10x by 5.
