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