40+2x=15-y
The opposite of -2x is 2x.
2x=15-y-40
Subtract 40 from both sides.
2x=-25-y
Subtract 40 from 15 to get -25.
2x=-y-25
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-y-25}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{-y-25}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
40+2x=15-y
The opposite of -2x is 2x.
15-y=40+2x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-y=40+2x-15
Subtract 15 from both sides.
-y=25+2x
Subtract 15 from 40 to get 25.
-y=2x+25
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{2x+25}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
y=\frac{2x+25}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
y=-2x-25
Divide 25+2x by -1.
