You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2x + 3y=6 (solve for y)
Subtract 2x from both sides to get:
3y=-2x+6
Divide both sides by 3 to get:
y=(-2/3)x+2
---------------------
2x -6y +12=0 (solve for y)
Add 6y to both sides to get:
6y=2x+12
Divide both sides by 6 to get:
y=(1/3)x+2
------------------
