Solve 32x-48y=72

$$32 x - 48 y = 72$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{3y}{2}+\frac{9}{4}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 48y to both sides.

$$32x=72+48y$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$32x=48y+72$$

Divide both sides by 32.

$$\frac{32x}{32}=\frac{48y+72}{32}$$

Dividing by 32 undoes the multiplication by 32.

$$x=\frac{48y+72}{32}$$

Divide 72+48y by 32.

$$x=\frac{3y}{2}+\frac{9}{4}$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{2x}{3}-\frac{3}{2}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 32x from both sides.

$$-48y=72-32x$$

Divide both sides by -48.

$$\frac{-48y}{-48}=\frac{72-32x}{-48}$$

Dividing by -48 undoes the multiplication by -48.

$$y=\frac{72-32x}{-48}$$

Divide 72-32x by -48.

$$y=\frac{2x}{3}-\frac{3}{2}$$
