y-7=2x-8
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-4.
2x-8=y-7
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2x=y-7+8
Add 8 to both sides.
2x=y+1
Add -7 and 8 to get 1.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{y+1}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{y+1}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
y-7=2x-8
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-4.
