x-y+2x=-7y
Add 2x to both sides.
3x-y=-7y
Combine x and 2x to get 3x.
3x=-7y+y
Add y to both sides.
3x=-6y
Combine -7y and y to get -6y.
\frac{3x}{3}=-\frac{6y}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=-\frac{6y}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
x=-2y
Divide -6y by 3.
x-y+7y=-2x
Add 7y to both sides.
x+6y=-2x
Combine -y and 7y to get 6y.
6y=-2x-x
Subtract x from both sides.
6y=-3x
Combine -2x and -x to get -3x.
\frac{6y}{6}=-\frac{3x}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
y=-\frac{3x}{6}
Dividing by 6 undoes the multiplication by 6.
y=-\frac{x}{2}
Divide -3x by 6.
