2x-16=-7y
Subtract 7y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
2x=-7y+16
Add 16 to both sides.
2x=16-7y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{16-7y}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{16-7y}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
x=-\frac{7y}{2}+8
Divide -7y+16 by 2.
7y-16=-2x
Subtract 2x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
7y=-2x+16
Add 16 to both sides.
7y=16-2x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{7y}{7}=\frac{16-2x}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
y=\frac{16-2x}{7}
Dividing by 7 undoes the multiplication by 7.
