Question 70755
Hint: if you're trying to make your equations look a certain way, you can surround  the equations with "pre..../pre" (without quotes, make sure they are both enclosed in < and > or it wont work) to make the formatting display correctly. If you have no idea of what I'm talking about, check the source.

If you're solving for y then  
{{{(x-3)/2+(y+5)/3=11/6}}} Start with given equation     
{{{(y+5)/3=11/6-(x-3)/2}}} subtract {{{(x-3)/2}}} from both sides
{{{cross(3)(y+5)/cross(3)=3(11/6-(x-3)/2)}}}Multiply both sides by 3
{{{y+5=11/2-(3x-9)/2}}}Distribute the 3 on the right side
{{{y+5=(20-3x)/2}}}Subtract fractions
{{{y+cross(5-5)=(20-3x)/2-5}}}Subtract 5 from both sides
{{{y=(20-3x)/2-5}}}
{{{y=20/2-(3/2)x-5}}}You can simplify the fraction to this                          
{{{y=10-5-(3/2)x}}}
{{{y=-(3/2)x+5}}}Now the equation is in a recognizable form
