Solve for y x=2y-3

$x = 2 y - 3$

Step 1

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

$2 y - 3 = x$

Step 2

Add $3$ to both sides of the equation.

$2 y = x + 3$

Step 3

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

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

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

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

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

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

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