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