-x=-2y
Subtract 2y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\frac{-x}{-1}=-\frac{2y}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x=-\frac{2y}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
x=2y
Divide -2y by -1.
2y=x
Add x to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{x}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=\frac{x}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
