2x - y/2 = 1 - y/3 Get all the Ys on one side: Add y/3 to each side.
2x-y/2+y/3=1 Move everything else to the other side: Subtract 2x from each side.
-y/2+y/3=1-2x Find common denominator.
-y/2(3/3)+y/3(2/2)=1-2x
-3y/6+2y/6=1-2x
(-3y+2y)/6=1-2x Multiply each side by 6.
-y=6-12x Multiply each side by -1
y=12x-6

2x+-+y%2F2+=+1+-+y%2F3

12x - 3y = 6 - 2y}}] ------ Multiplying by LCD, 6 to clear fractions

12x - 6 = - 2y + 3y
