3x-4y-2x=-17
Subtract 2x from both sides.
x-4y=-17
Combine 3x and -2x to get x.
x=-17+4y
Add 4y to both sides.
-4y=2x-17-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-4y=-x-17
Combine 2x and -3x to get -x.
\frac{-4y}{-4}=\frac{-x-17}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
y=\frac{-x-17}{-4}
Dividing by -4 undoes the multiplication by -4.
y=\frac{x+17}{4}
Divide -x-17 by -4.
