Solve x-2/2=y+1

$$\frac { x - 2 } { 2 } = y + 1$$

Solve for x

$$x=2\left(y+2\right)$$

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.

$$x-2=2y+2$$

Add 2 to both sides.

$$x=2y+2+2$$

Add 2 and 2 to get 4.

$$x=2y+4$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{x-4}{2}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.

$$x-2=2y+2$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$2y+2=x-2$$

Subtract 2 from both sides.

$$2y=x-2-2$$

Subtract 2 from -2 to get -4.

$$2y=x-4$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{x-4}{2}$$

Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.

$$y=\frac{x-4}{2}$$

Divide x-4 by 2.

$$y=\frac{x}{2}-2$$
