Solve x*2+(-24)=-y

$$x \times 2+(-24)=-y$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{y}{2}+12$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 24 to both sides.

$$x\times 2=-y+24$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$2x=24-y$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{24-y}{2}$$

Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.

$$x=\frac{24-y}{2}$$

Divide -y+24 by 2.

$$x=-\frac{y}{2}+12$$

Solve for y

$$y=24-2x$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$-y=x\times 2-24$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$-y=2x-24$$

Divide both sides by -1.

$$\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{2x-24}{-1}$$

Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.

$$y=\frac{2x-24}{-1}$$

Divide -24+2x by -1.

$$y=24-2x$$
