Solve y=x+12y

$$y = x + 12 y$$

Solve for x

$$x=-11y$$

Solution Steps

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x+12y=y$$

Subtract 12y from both sides.

$$x=y-12y$$

Combine y and -12y to get -11y.

$$x=-11y$$

Solve for y

$$y=-\frac{x}{11}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 12y from both sides.

$$y-12y=x$$

Combine y and -12y to get -11y.

$$-11y=x$$

Divide both sides by -11.

$$\frac{-11y}{-11}=\frac{x}{-11}$$

Dividing by -11 undoes the multiplication by -11.

$$y=\frac{x}{-11}$$

Divide x by -11.

$$y=-\frac{x}{11}$$
