4x – 6y = –30

Get the x term isolated by adding +6y to each side:
4x = 6y-30

Divide both sides by 4. There are two ways to write this:
%284x%29%2F4+=+%286y-30%29%2F4 or %284x%29%2F4+=+%28%286y%29%2F4%29-%2830%2F4%29
x+=+%282%283y-15%29%29%2F4 or x+=+%28%283y%29%2F2%29-%2815%2F2%29
x+=+%283y-15%29%2F2
