3x-6y-x=36
Subtract x from both sides.
2x-6y=36
Combine 3x and -x to get 2x.
2x=36+6y
Add 6y to both sides.
2x=6y+36
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{6y+36}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{6y+36}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
x=3y+18
Divide 36+6y by 2.
-6y=36+x-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-6y=36-2x
Combine x and -3x to get -2x.
\frac{-6y}{-6}=\frac{36-2x}{-6}
Divide both sides by -6.
y=\frac{36-2x}{-6}
Dividing by -6 undoes the multiplication by -6.
y=\frac{x}{3}-6
Divide 36-2x by -6.
