-3x=8y-2y
Subtract 2y from both sides.
-3x=6y
Combine 8y and -2y to get 6y.
\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{6y}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=\frac{6y}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
x=-2y
Divide 6y by -3.
2y-3x-8y=0
Subtract 8y from both sides.
-6y-3x=0
Combine 2y and -8y to get -6y.
-6y=3x
Add 3x to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\frac{-6y}{-6}=\frac{3x}{-6}
Divide both sides by -6.
y=\frac{3x}{-6}
Dividing by -6 undoes the multiplication by -6.
y=-\frac{x}{2}
