Solve y=x-2/2

$$y = \frac { x - 2 } { 2 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=2\left(y+1\right)$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide each term of x-2 by 2 to get \frac{1}{2}x-1.

$$y=\frac{1}{2}x-1$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$\frac{1}{2}x-1=y$$

Add 1 to both sides.

$$\frac{1}{2}x=y+1$$

Multiply both sides by 2.

$$\frac{\frac{1}{2}x}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{y+1}{\frac{1}{2}}$$

Dividing by \frac{1}{2} undoes the multiplication by \frac{1}{2}.

$$x=\frac{y+1}{\frac{1}{2}}$$

Divide y+1 by \frac{1}{2} by multiplying y+1 by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{2}.

$$x=2y+2$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{x-2}{2}$$

Solution Steps

Divide each term of x-2 by 2 to get \frac{1}{2}x-1.

$$y=\frac{1}{2}x-1$$
