If you are looking for standard form y=mx + c, it is not possible.
Because slope of the equation is 2/3 and not an integer.
But as others have mentione, it is possible to write it is
3y=2x-12

that is in standard form and you cannot change it to make them all intagers unless you take it out of standard form.
if you take it out of standard form to get an answer with only intagers, you would have to start by multiplying everything by three
which would give you
3y=2x-12
and then you would add -2x to both sides to get the real and unreal numbers on oposite sides
which would give you
3y-2x=-12
but that is no longer in standard form which is y=mx+b where m and b are real numbers.

mult the whole thing by 3 to get 3y=2x-12. then -2x+3y=-12. and finally 2x-3y=12.

Questions copied directly from your algebra assignment, eh? (see profile)
I might feed you the answer to a problem that is particularly challenging to me, but not easy ones like this.

I guess you mean 3y=2x-12?
