y-7=2x-12
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-6.
2x-12=y-7
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2x=y-7+12
Add 12 to both sides.
2x=y+5
Add -7 and 12 to get 5.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{y+5}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{y+5}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
