Given: $\"x-6y=12\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-6y=12+-+x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+%2812-x%29%2F%28-6%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+%28%28-1%29%2812-x%29%29%2F%28%28-1%29%28-6%29%29+\"$ remember(-1/-1) is just a multiply by 1
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+%28-12%2Bx%29%2F%286%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+%28x+-12%29%2F6+\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
