-m+2n=-y
Subtract y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-m=-y-2n
Subtract 2n from both sides.
\frac{-m}{-1}=\frac{-y-2n}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
m=\frac{-y-2n}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
m=y+2n
Divide -y-2n by -1.
-m+2n=-y
Subtract y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
2n=-y+m
Add m to both sides.
2n=m-y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2n}{2}=\frac{m-y}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
n=\frac{m-y}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
