2x=3y-42
Subtract 42 from both sides.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{3y-42}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{3y-42}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
x=\frac{3y}{2}-21
Divide -42+3y by 2.
3y=42+2x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
3y=2x+42
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{2x+42}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
y=\frac{2x+42}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
y=\frac{2x}{3}+14
Divide 42+2x by 3.
