xz+yz=xz+2x
Use the distributive property to multiply x by z+2.
xz+yz-xz=2x
Subtract xz from both sides.
yz=2x
Combine xz and -xz to get 0.
2x=yz
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{yz}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{yz}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
