y-8=2x-6
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-3.
2x-6=y-8
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2x=y-8+6
Add 6 to both sides.
2x=y-2
Add -8 and 6 to get -2.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{y-2}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{y-2}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
x=\frac{y}{2}-1
Divide y-2 by 2.
y-8=2x-6
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-3.
y=2x-6+8
Add 8 to both sides.
y=2x+2
Add -6 and 8 to get 2.
