3.4x+12=3y
Add 3y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
3.4x=3y-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
\frac{3.4x}{3.4}=\frac{3y-12}{3.4}
Divide both sides of the equation by 3.4, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{3y-12}{3.4}
Dividing by 3.4 undoes the multiplication by 3.4.
x=\frac{15y-60}{17}
Divide -12+3y by 3.4 by multiplying -12+3y by the reciprocal of 3.4.
-3y+12=-3.4x
Subtract 3.4x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-3y=-3.4x-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
-3y=-\frac{17x}{5}-12
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-3y}{-3}=\frac{-\frac{17x}{5}-12}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
y=\frac{-\frac{17x}{5}-12}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
y=\frac{17x}{15}+4
Divide -\frac{17x}{5}-12 by -3.
