z=\frac{3\left(x-y\right)}{12}-\frac{4\left(y-x\right)}{12}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 4 and 3 is 12. Multiply \frac{x-y}{4} times \frac{3}{3}. Multiply \frac{y-x}{3} times \frac{4}{4}.
z=\frac{3\left(x-y\right)-4\left(y-x\right)}{12}
Since \frac{3\left(x-y\right)}{12} and \frac{4\left(y-x\right)}{12} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
z=\frac{3x-3y-4y+4x}{12}
Do the multiplications in 3\left(x-y\right)-4\left(y-x\right).
z=\frac{7x-7y}{12}
Combine like terms in 3x-3y-4y+4x.
z=\frac{7}{12}x-\frac{7}{12}y
Divide each term of 7x-7y by 12 to get \frac{7}{12}x-\frac{7}{12}y.
\frac{7}{12}x-\frac{7}{12}y=z
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{7}{12}x=z+\frac{7}{12}y
Add \frac{7}{12}y to both sides.
\frac{7}{12}x=\frac{7y}{12}+z
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\frac{7}{12}x}{\frac{7}{12}}=\frac{\frac{7y}{12}+z}{\frac{7}{12}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{7}{12}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{\frac{7y}{12}+z}{\frac{7}{12}}
Dividing by \frac{7}{12} undoes the multiplication by \frac{7}{12}.
x=\frac{12z}{7}+y
Divide z+\frac{7y}{12} by \frac{7}{12} by multiplying z+\frac{7y}{12} by the reciprocal of \frac{7}{12}.
z=\frac{3\left(x-y\right)}{12}-\frac{4\left(y-x\right)}{12}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 4 and 3 is 12. Multiply \frac{x-y}{4} times \frac{3}{3}. Multiply \frac{y-x}{3} times \frac{4}{4}.
z=\frac{3\left(x-y\right)-4\left(y-x\right)}{12}
Since \frac{3\left(x-y\right)}{12} and \frac{4\left(y-x\right)}{12} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
z=\frac{3x-3y-4y+4x}{12}
Do the multiplications in 3\left(x-y\right)-4\left(y-x\right).
z=\frac{-7y+7x}{12}
Combine like terms in 3x-3y-4y+4x.
z=-\frac{7}{12}y+\frac{7}{12}x
Divide each term of -7y+7x by 12 to get -\frac{7}{12}y+\frac{7}{12}x.
-\frac{7}{12}y+\frac{7}{12}x=z
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-\frac{7}{12}y=z-\frac{7}{12}x
Subtract \frac{7}{12}x from both sides.
-\frac{7}{12}y=-\frac{7x}{12}+z
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-\frac{7}{12}y}{-\frac{7}{12}}=\frac{-\frac{7x}{12}+z}{-\frac{7}{12}}
Divide both sides of the equation by -\frac{7}{12}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
y=\frac{-\frac{7x}{12}+z}{-\frac{7}{12}}
Dividing by -\frac{7}{12} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{7}{12}.
y=-\frac{12z}{7}+x
Divide z-\frac{7x}{12} by -\frac{7}{12} by multiplying z-\frac{7x}{12} by the reciprocal of -\frac{7}{12}.
