First, add 6 to each side of the equation to isolate the y term while keeping the equation balanced:
12x+6=2y−6+6
12x+6=2y−0
12x+6=2y
Next, multiply each side of the equation by 1 2 to solve for y while keeping the equation balanced:
1 2 ( 12 x + 6 ) = 1 2 × 2 y
( 1 2 × 12 x ) + ( 1 2 × 6 ) = 1 2 × 2 y
6x+3=y
y=6x+3
