-y-z-\left(y+x\right)-\left(x+z\right)=0
To find the opposite of y+z, find the opposite of each term.
-y-z-y-x-\left(x+z\right)=0
To find the opposite of y+x, find the opposite of each term.
-2y-z-x-\left(x+z\right)=0
Combine -y and -y to get -2y.
-2y-z-x-x-z=0
To find the opposite of x+z, find the opposite of each term.
-2y-z-2x-z=0
Combine -x and -x to get -2x.
-2y-2z-2x=0
Combine -z and -z to get -2z.
-2z-2x=2y
Add 2y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
-2x=2y+2z
Add 2z to both sides.
\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{2y+2z}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=\frac{2y+2z}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
x=-\left(y+z\right)
Divide 2y+2z by -2.
-y-z-\left(y+x\right)-\left(x+z\right)=0
To find the opposite of y+z, find the opposite of each term.
-y-z-y-x-\left(x+z\right)=0
To find the opposite of y+x, find the opposite of each term.
-2y-z-x-\left(x+z\right)=0
Combine -y and -y to get -2y.
-2y-z-x-x-z=0
To find the opposite of x+z, find the opposite of each term.
-2y-z-2x-z=0
Combine -x and -x to get -2x.
-2y-2z-2x=0
Combine -z and -z to get -2z.
-2y-2x=2z
Add 2z to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
-2y=2z+2x
Add 2x to both sides.
-2y=2x+2z
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{2x+2z}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
y=\frac{2x+2z}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
y=-\left(x+z\right)
Divide 2z+2x by -2.
