Solve for x x/2-6=y

$\frac{x}{2} - 6 = y$

Step 1

Add $6$ to both sides of the equation.

$\frac{x}{2} = y + 6$

Step 2

Multiply both sides of the equation by $2$ .

$2 \frac{x}{2} = 2 (y + 6)$

Step 3

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$2 \frac{x}{2} = 2 (y + 6)$

Rewrite the expression.

$x = 2 (y + 6)$

$x = 2 (y + 6)$

$x = 2 (y + 6)$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify $2 (y + 6)$ .

Apply the distributive property.

$x = 2 y + 2 \cdot 6$

Multiply $2$ by $6$ .

$x = 2 y + 12$

$x = 2 y + 12$

$x = 2 y + 12$

$x = 2 y + 12$
