2x=2x\times 2z-y\times 2z
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2z.
2x=4xz-y\times 2z
Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.
2x=4xz-2yz
Multiply -1 and 2 to get -2.
2x-4xz=-2yz
Subtract 4xz from both sides.
\left(2-4z\right)x=-2yz
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(2-4z\right)x}{2-4z}=-\frac{2yz}{2-4z}
Divide both sides by 2-4z.
x=-\frac{2yz}{2-4z}
Dividing by 2-4z undoes the multiplication by 2-4z.
x=-\frac{yz}{1-2z}
Divide -2yz by 2-4z.
2x=2x\times 2z-y\times 2z
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2z.
2x=4xz-y\times 2z
Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.
2x=4xz-2yz
Multiply -1 and 2 to get -2.
4xz-2yz=2x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-2yz=2x-4xz
Subtract 4xz from both sides.
\left(-2z\right)y=2x-4xz
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-2z\right)y}{-2z}=\frac{2x-4xz}{-2z}
Divide both sides by -2z.
y=\frac{2x-4xz}{-2z}
Dividing by -2z undoes the multiplication by -2z.
y=2x-\frac{x}{z}
Divide 2x-4xz by -2z.
