x=2x+2y
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+y.
x-2x=2y
Subtract 2x from both sides.
-x=2y
Combine x and -2x to get -x.
\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{2y}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x=\frac{2y}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
x=-2y
Divide 2y by -1.
x=2x+2y
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+y.
2x+2y=x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2y=x-2x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
2y=-x
Combine x and -2x to get -x.
\frac{2y}{2}=-\frac{x}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=-\frac{x}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
