y-2=6\left(x+8.5\right)
The opposite of -8.5 is 8.5.
y-2=6x+51
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by x+8.5.
6x+51=y-2
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
6x=y-2-51
Subtract 51 from both sides.
6x=y-53
Subtract 51 from -2 to get -53.
\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{y-53}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x=\frac{y-53}{6}
Dividing by 6 undoes the multiplication by 6.
