Choice A is the correct answer. Clear the fraction.

1. Multiply by 3: $3y = 2x - 12$.
2. Rearrange: Subtract $3y$ and add 12? Or subtract $2x$.

• $-2x + 3y = -12$.
• Multiply by -1 to make x positive: $2x - 3y = 12$.

💡 Strategic Tip: Move $x$ and $y$ to the same side. $Ax + By = C$.

Choice B is incorrect because sign error. Choice C is incorrect because swaps coefficients. Choice D is incorrect because equivalent but usually A is positive.
