Solve -x/2y=2

$$- \frac{ x }{ 2y } =2$$

Solve for x

$$x=-4y$$

$$y\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2y.

$$-x=4y$$

Divide both sides by -1.

$$\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{4y}{-1}$$

Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.

$$x=\frac{4y}{-1}$$

Divide 4y by -1.

$$x=-4y$$

Solve for y

$$y=-\frac{x}{4}$$

$$x\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable y cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2y.

$$-x=4y$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$4y=-x$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$\frac{4y}{4}=-\frac{x}{4}$$

Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.

$$y=-\frac{x}{4}$$

Variable y cannot be equal to 0.

$$y=-\frac{x}{4}\text{, }y\neq 0$$
