Hey there!

6x+2y=12

Let's start by adding -2y to both sides.

$6x+2y+-2y=12+-2y\\\text {This equals: 6x=-2y+12}$

Our second and final step is to divide both sides by 6.

$(6x)/(6)=(-2y+12)/(6) \\x=(-1)/(3)y+2(ANSWER)$

If you are looking to solve y, the answer is 6 - 3x.

If you are looking for x, the answer is x = 2 - y/3

Hope this helps and have a great weekend!
