Change the subject of the formula to y: x=+%28y-1%29%2F3+-+%28y%2B1%29%2F2
x%22%22=%22%22%28y-1%29%2F3+-+%28y%2B1%29%2F2

Multiply through by LCD = 6

red%286%29x%22%22=%22%22red%286%29expr%28%28y-1%29%2F3%29+-+red%286%29expr%28%28y%2B1%29%2F2%29

6x%22%22=%22%222%28y-1%29+-+3%28y%2B1%29

6x%22%22=%22%222y-2+-+3y-3

6x%22%22=%22%22-y-5

y%22%22=%22%22-6x-5
