-x-480=-x_{2}
Subtract x_{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-x=-x_{2}+480
Add 480 to both sides.
-x=480-x_{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{480-x_{2}}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x=\frac{480-x_{2}}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
x=x_{2}-480
Divide -x_{2}+480 by -1.
x_{2}-480=x
Add x to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x_{2}=x+480
Add 480 to both sides.
