2 x - 3 y = 6

$2 x - 3 y = 6$

Step 1

Subtract

2 x

$2 x$ from both sides of the equation.

- 3 y = 6 - 2 x

$- 3 y = 6 - 2 x$

Step 2

Divide each term in

- 3 y = 6 - 2 x

$- 3 y = 6 - 2 x$ by

- 3

$- 3$ and simplify.

Step 2.1

Divide each term in

- 3 y = 6 - 2 x

$- 3 y = 6 - 2 x$ by

- 3

$- 3$ .

\frac{- 3 y}{- 3} = \frac{6}{- 3} + \frac{- 2 x}{- 3}

$\frac{- 3 y}{- 3} = \frac{6}{- 3} + \frac{- 2 x}{- 3}$

Step 2.2

Step 2.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 3 y}{- 3} = \frac{6}{- 3} + \frac{- 2 x}{- 3}$

Step 2.2.1.2

Divide

$y$ by

$1$ .

$y = \frac{6}{- 3} + \frac{- 2 x}{- 3}$

Step 2.3

Step 2.3.1.1

Divide

$6$ by

$- 3$ .

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

Step 2.3.1.2

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

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

$2 x - 3 y = 6$
