x-2x-4=2y-8x
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x+2.
-x-4=2y-8x
Combine x and -2x to get -x.
-x-4+8x=2y
Add 8x to both sides.
7x-4=2y
Combine -x and 8x to get 7x.
7x=2y+4
Add 4 to both sides.
\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{2y+4}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
x=\frac{2y+4}{7}
Dividing by 7 undoes the multiplication by 7.
x-2x-4=2y-8x

2y=7x-4
Combine -x and 8x to get 7x.
\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{7x-4}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=\frac{7x-4}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
y=\frac{7x}{2}-2
Divide 7x-4 by 2.
