H=-2yx
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
-2yx=H
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(-2y\right)x=H
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-2y\right)x}{-2y}=\frac{H}{-2y}
Divide both sides by -2y.
x=\frac{H}{-2y}
Dividing by -2y undoes the multiplication by -2y.
x=-\frac{H}{2y}
Divide H by -2y.
x=-\frac{H}{2y}\text{, }x\neq 0
Variable x cannot be equal to 0.
