2y+4=2\left(x+36\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -36 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+36.
2y+4=2x+72
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+36.
2x+72=2y+4
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2x=2y+4-72
Subtract 72 from both sides.
2x=2y-68
Subtract 72 from 4 to get -68.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{2y-68}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{2y-68}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
x=y-34
Divide -68+2y by 2.
x=y-34\text{, }x\neq -36
Variable x cannot be equal to -36.
2y+4=2\left(x+36\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by x+36.
2y+4=2x+72
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+36.
2y=2x+72-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
2y=2x+68
Subtract 4 from 72 to get 68.
\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{2x+68}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=\frac{2x+68}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
y=x+34
Divide 68+2x by 2.
