x=16-y-y
Subtract y from both sides.
x=16-2y
Combine -y and -y to get -2y.
x+y+y=16
Add y to both sides.
x+2y=16
Combine y and y to get 2y.
2y=16-x
Subtract x from both sides.
\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{16-x}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=\frac{16-x}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
y=-\frac{x}{2}+8
Divide 16-x by 2.
