$\frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{3} = 8$

Step 1

Subtract $\frac{y}{3}$ from both sides of the equation.

$\frac{x}{2} = 8 - \frac{y}{3}$

Step 2

Multiply both sides of the equation by $2$ .

$2 \frac{x}{2} = 2 (8 - \frac{y}{3})$

Step 3

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Step 3.1.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$2 \frac{x}{2} = 2 (8 - \frac{y}{3})$

Step 3.1.1.2

Rewrite the expression.

$x = 2 (8 - \frac{y}{3})$

$x = 2 (8 - \frac{y}{3})$

$x = 2 (8 - \frac{y}{3})$

Step 3.2.1.1

Apply the distributive property.

$x = 2 \cdot 8 + 2 (- \frac{y}{3})$

Step 3.2.1.2

Multiply $2$ by $8$ .

$x = 16 + 2 (- \frac{y}{3})$

Step 3.2.1.3

Multiply $2 (- \frac{y}{3})$ .

Step 3.2.1.3.1

Multiply $- 1$ by $2$ .

$x = 16 - 2 \frac{y}{3}$

Step 3.2.1.3.2

Combine $- 2$ and $\frac{y}{3}$ .

$x = 16 + \frac{- 2 y}{3}$

$x = 16 + \frac{- 2 y}{3}$

Step 3.2.1.4

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$x = 16 - \frac{2 y}{3}$

$x = 16 - \frac{2 y}{3}$

$x = 16 - \frac{2 y}{3}$

$x = 16 - \frac{2 y}{3}$

Step 4

Reorder $16$ and $- \frac{2 y}{3}$ .

$x = - \frac{2 y}{3} + 16$
