9x-\left(4x+1\right)=3\left(2y-1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 9, the least common multiple of 9,3.
9x-4x-1=3\left(2y-1\right)
To find the opposite of 4x+1, find the opposite of each term.
5x-1=3\left(2y-1\right)
Combine 9x and -4x to get 5x.
5x-1=6y-3
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 2y-1.
5x=6y-3+1
Add 1 to both sides.
5x=6y-2
Add -3 and 1 to get -2.
\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{6y-2}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{6y-2}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
9x-\left(4x+1\right)=3\left(2y-1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 9, the least common multiple of 9,3.
9x-4x-1=3\left(2y-1\right)
To find the opposite of 4x+1, find the opposite of each term.
5x-1=3\left(2y-1\right)
Combine 9x and -4x to get 5x.
5x-1=6y-3
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 2y-1.
6y-3=5x-1
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
6y=5x-1+3
Add 3 to both sides.
6y=5x+2
Add -1 and 3 to get 2.
\frac{6y}{6}=\frac{5x+2}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
y=\frac{5x+2}{6}
Dividing by 6 undoes the multiplication by 6.
y=\frac{5x}{6}+\frac{1}{3}
Divide 5x+2 by 6.
