Solve y-2x-6=0

$$y - 2 x - 6 = 0$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{y-6}{2}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-2x-6=-y$$

Add 6 to both sides.

$$-2x=-y+6$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$-2x=6-y$$

Divide both sides by -2.

$$\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{6-y}{-2}$$

Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.

$$x=\frac{6-y}{-2}$$

Divide -y+6 by -2.

$$x=\frac{y}{2}-3$$

Solve for y

$$y=2\left(x+3\right)$$

Solution Steps

Add 2x to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$y-6=2x$$

Add 6 to both sides.

$$y=2x+6$$
