What is the answer to the equation 13=1/6y + 2x

13=1/6y+2x

-1/6y - 1/6y

-1/6y+13=2x

-13 - 13

-1/6y=2x-13

*-6 * - 6

y=-12x-13

*I multiply it by - 6 because - 6 is the reciprocal of - 1/6, and I can't divide - 1/6, actually I can, but it just going to be more confusing that way, and the fastest way to get rid of the - 1/6 when you solving this type of equation is multiply it by its reciprocal.
