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