Solve X+1=Y-3/2

$$X + 1 = \frac { Y - 3 } { 2 }$$

Solve for X

$$X=\frac{Y-5}{2}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.

$$2X+2=Y-3$$

Subtract 2 from both sides.

$$2X=Y-3-2$$

Subtract 2 from -3 to get -5.

$$2X=Y-5$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$\frac{2X}{2}=\frac{Y-5}{2}$$

Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.

$$X=\frac{Y-5}{2}$$

Solve for Y

$$Y=2X+5$$

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.

$$2X+2=Y-3$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$Y-3=2X+2$$

Add 3 to both sides.

$$Y=2X+2+3$$

Add 2 and 3 to get 5.

$$Y=2X+5$$
