Solve x-y=2x

$$x - y = 2 x$$

Solve for x

$$x=-y$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 2x from both sides.

$$x-y-2x=0$$

Combine x and -2x to get -x.

$$-x-y=0$$

Add y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$-x=y$$

Divide both sides by -1.

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

Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.

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

Divide y by -1.

$$x=-y$$

Solve for y

$$y=-x$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract x from both sides.

$$-y=2x-x$$

Combine 2x and -x to get x.

$$-y=x$$

Divide both sides by -1.

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

Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.

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

Divide x by -1.

$$y=-x$$
