x-a=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-a=y-x
Subtract x from both sides.
\frac{-a}{-1}=\frac{y-x}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
a=\frac{y-x}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
a=x-y
Divide y-x by -1.
x-a=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=y+a
Add a to both sides.
