-12x=3(y-3)
-12x=3y-6
-12x-3y=-6
That's as far as you can solve it. Basically you simplified it. If you multiply everything by negative 1 you can get:
12x+3y=6

For what do you want to solve for cuz there are many ways to solve this equation. Here is one:
-12x=3(y-3)
-12x=3y-9
-9 = 3y-12x
That's the answer. Hope I helped you!!!! =)

Everytime we want to solve an equation, we set a letter equal to something. In this case, y is equal to.... let's get started on the problem. -12x=3(y-3)
first: we divide both sides by 3:
-4x=y-3
Secondly: we add 3 to both sides
-4x + 3 = y
The new equation is: y = -4x + 3 in slope-intercept form.

Are you trying to make a graph out of this? If so....
-12x=3(y-3)
-12x=3y-9 (distribute the 3)
-3y +-12x = -9 (move your 'y' to one side)
y +4x = 3 (divide by -3)
y= -4x + 3 (and isolate your 'y')
There you go!

-12x = 3y-9
-12x+9=3y
-4x+3=y
y=3-4x

-12x=3y-9
-4x=y-3
-x=(y-3)/4
x=-(y-3)/4
the neg. is in the middle of the fraction, not on the top part.

x = 3(Y-3)/-12
Y=3-4x
