-2x+4=a-y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-2x=a-y-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
-2x=-y+a-4
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{-y+a-4}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=\frac{-y+a-4}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
x=\frac{y}{2}-\frac{a}{2}+2
Divide a-y-4 by -2.
