2x-y=-8
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
2x=-8+y
Add y to both sides.
2x=y-8
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{y-8}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{y-8}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
x=\frac{y}{2}-4
Divide -8+y by 2.
2x-y=-8
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
-y=-8-2x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
-y=-2x-8
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{-2x-8}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
y=\frac{-2x-8}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
y=2x+8
Divide -2x-8 by -1.
