3x+12=2y
Add 2y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
3x=2y-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{2y-12}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{2y-12}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
x=\frac{2y}{3}-4
Divide -12+2y by 3.
-2y+12=-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-2y=-3x-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
\frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{-3x-12}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
y=\frac{-3x-12}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
y=\frac{3x}{2}+6
Divide -3x-12 by -2.
