-x-14=-2y
Subtract 2y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-x=-2y+14
Add 14 to both sides.
-x=14-2y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{14-2y}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x=\frac{14-2y}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
x=2y-14
Divide -2y+14 by -1.
2y-14=x
Add x to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
2y=x+14
Add 14 to both sides.
\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{x+14}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=\frac{x+14}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
y=\frac{x}{2}+7
Divide x+14 by 2.
