2y-3=-x-2
To find the opposite of x+2, find the opposite of each term.
-x-2=2y-3
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-x=2y-3+2
Add 2 to both sides.
-x=2y-1
Add -3 and 2 to get -1.
\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{2y-1}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x=\frac{2y-1}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
x=1-2y
Divide 2y-1 by -1.
2y-3=-x-2
To find the opposite of x+2, find the opposite of each term.
2y=-x-2+3
Add 3 to both sides.
2y=-x+1
Add -2 and 3 to get 1.
2y=1-x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{1-x}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=\frac{1-x}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
