y-7=-2x+4
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x-2.
-2x+4=y-7
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-2x=y-7-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
-2x=y-11
Subtract 4 from -7 to get -11.
\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{y-11}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=\frac{y-11}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
x=\frac{11-y}{2}
Divide y-11 by -2.
y-7=-2x+4
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x-2.
y=-2x+4+7
Add 7 to both sides.
y=-2x+11
Add 4 and 7 to get 11.
