Solve 48x-73+12y=72y-3-24y

$$48 x - 73 + 12 y = 72 y - 3 - 24 y$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{3y}{4}+\frac{35}{24}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine 72y and -24y to get 48y.

$$48x-73+12y=48y-3$$

Add 73 to both sides.

$$48x+12y=48y-3+73$$

Add -3 and 73 to get 70.

$$48x+12y=48y+70$$

Subtract 12y from both sides.

$$48x=48y+70-12y$$

Combine 48y and -12y to get 36y.

$$48x=36y+70$$

Divide both sides by 48.

$$\frac{48x}{48}=\frac{36y+70}{48}$$

Dividing by 48 undoes the multiplication by 48.

$$x=\frac{36y+70}{48}$$

Divide 36y+70 by 48.

$$x=\frac{3y}{4}+\frac{35}{24}$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{4x}{3}-\frac{35}{18}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine 72y and -24y to get 48y.

$$48x-73+12y=48y-3$$

Subtract 48y from both sides.

$$48x-73+12y-48y=-3$$

Combine 12y and -48y to get -36y.

$$48x-73-36y=-3$$

Subtract 48x from both sides.

$$-73-36y=-3-48x$$

Add 73 to both sides.

$$-36y=-3-48x+73$$

Add -3 and 73 to get 70.

$$-36y=70-48x$$

Divide both sides by -36.

$$\frac{-36y}{-36}=\frac{70-48x}{-36}$$

Dividing by -36 undoes the multiplication by -36.

$$y=\frac{70-48x}{-36}$$

Divide 70-48x by -36.

$$y=\frac{4x}{3}-\frac{35}{18}$$
