2-x-y=z
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-x-y=z-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
-x=z-2+y
Add y to both sides.
-x=y+z-2
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{y+z-2}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x=\frac{y+z-2}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
x=2-z-y
Divide z-2+y by -1.
