Solve for x y=2x-3

$y = 2 x - 3$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $2 x - 3 = y$ .

$2 x - 3 = y$

Step 2

Add $3$ to both sides of the equation.

$2 x = y + 3$

Step 3

Divide each term in $2 x = y + 3$ by $2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $2 x = y + 3$ by $2$ .

$\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{y}{2} + \frac{3}{2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{y}{2} + \frac{3}{2}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{y}{2} + \frac{3}{2}$
