\frac{y-10}{20}=\frac{x-2}{3-2}
Subtract 10 from 30 to get 20.
\frac{y-10}{20}=\frac{x-2}{1}
Subtract 2 from 3 to get 1.
\frac{y-10}{20}=x-2
Anything divided by one gives itself.
\frac{1}{20}y-\frac{1}{2}=x-2
Divide each term of y-10 by 20 to get \frac{1}{20}y-\frac{1}{2}.
x-2=\frac{1}{20}y-\frac{1}{2}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=\frac{1}{20}y-\frac{1}{2}+2
Add 2 to both sides.
x=\frac{1}{20}y+\frac{3}{2}
Add -\frac{1}{2} and 2 to get \frac{3}{2}.
\frac{y-10}{20}=\frac{x-2}{3-2}
Subtract 10 from 30 to get 20.
\frac{y-10}{20}=\frac{x-2}{1}
Subtract 2 from 3 to get 1.
\frac{y-10}{20}=x-2
Anything divided by one gives itself.
\frac{1}{20}y-\frac{1}{2}=x-2
Divide each term of y-10 by 20 to get \frac{1}{20}y-\frac{1}{2}.
\frac{1}{20}y=x-2+\frac{1}{2}
Add \frac{1}{2} to both sides.
\frac{1}{20}y=x-\frac{3}{2}
Add -2 and \frac{1}{2} to get -\frac{3}{2}.
\frac{\frac{1}{20}y}{\frac{1}{20}}=\frac{x-\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{1}{20}}
Multiply both sides by 20.
y=\frac{x-\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{1}{20}}
Dividing by \frac{1}{20} undoes the multiplication by \frac{1}{20}.
y=20x-30
Divide x-\frac{3}{2} by \frac{1}{20} by multiplying x-\frac{3}{2} by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{20}.
