Let us proceed to solve the equation 2x - 3y = 6 We take the term 3y to the right-hand side of the equation which gives 2x = 6 + 3y Now we bring 6 to the left side of the equation 2x - 6 = 3y And lastly, we bring the 3 also to the other side of the equation thus dividing the term (2x-6) by 3 which ultimately gives us the value of y. (2x-6)/3=y

Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation.
$- 3 y = 6 - 2 x$
Divide each term by -3 and simplify.
Divide each term in -3y=6-2x by -3
$\frac{- 3 y}{3} = \frac{6}{- 3} + \frac{- 2 x}{- 3}$
Cancel the -3 common factor.
$y = \frac{6}{- 3} + \frac{- 2 x}{- 3}$
Each term should be simplified.
$y = - 2 + \frac{2 x}{3}$

Explanation: You must do the same action on both sides of the = sign; 2x=6+3y 2x−6=3y 2x−63=y Therefore: y=(23)x−2
