2y-16=-x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
-x=2y-16
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{2y-16}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x=\frac{2y-16}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
x=16-2y
Divide -16+2y by -1.
2y-16=-x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
2y=-x+16
Add 16 to both sides.
2y=16-x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{16-x}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=\frac{16-x}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
y=-\frac{x}{2}+8
Divide -x+16 by 2.
