5x+6=12y
Add 12y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
5x=12y-6
Subtract 6 from both sides.
\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{12y-6}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{12y-6}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
-12y+6=-5x
Subtract 5x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-12y=-5x-6
Subtract 6 from both sides.
\frac{-12y}{-12}=\frac{-5x-6}{-12}
Divide both sides by -12.
y=\frac{-5x-6}{-12}
Dividing by -12 undoes the multiplication by -12.
y=\frac{5x}{12}+\frac{1}{2}
Divide -5x-6 by -12.
