Solve 6x+4y=72

$$6 x + 4 y = 72$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{2y}{3}+12$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 4y from both sides.

$$6x=72-4y$$

Divide both sides by 6.

$$\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{72-4y}{6}$$

Dividing by 6 undoes the multiplication by 6.

$$x=\frac{72-4y}{6}$$

Divide 72-4y by 6.

$$x=-\frac{2y}{3}+12$$

Solve for y

$$y=-\frac{3x}{2}+18$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 6x from both sides.

$$4y=72-6x$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{72-6x}{4}$$

Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.

$$y=\frac{72-6x}{4}$$

Divide 72-6x by 4.

$$y=-\frac{3x}{2}+18$$
