-2-\frac{1}{3}x=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-\frac{1}{3}x=y+2
Add 2 to both sides.
\frac{-\frac{1}{3}x}{-\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{y+2}{-\frac{1}{3}}
Multiply both sides by -3.
x=\frac{y+2}{-\frac{1}{3}}
Dividing by -\frac{1}{3} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{1}{3}.
x=-3y-6
Divide y+2 by -\frac{1}{3} by multiplying y+2 by the reciprocal of -\frac{1}{3}.
