Solve 2x+y-y=5-y

$$2 x + y - y = 5 - y$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{5-y}{2}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine y and -y to get 0.

$$2x=5-y$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{5-y}{2}$$

Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.

$$x=\frac{5-y}{2}$$

Solve for y

$$y=5-2x$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine y and -y to get 0.

$$2x=5-y$$

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

$$5-y=2x$$

Subtract 5 from both sides.

$$-y=2x-5$$

Divide both sides by -1.

$$\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{2x-5}{-1}$$

Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.

$$y=\frac{2x-5}{-1}$$

Divide 2x-5 by -1.

$$y=5-2x$$
