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