Solve: 12 - 2x = -2(y - x)
Steps:
1. Expand -2(y - x): -2y + 2x
12 - 2x = -2y + 2x
2. Then subtract 12 from both sides
12 - 12 - 2x = -2y + 2x - 12
3. Simplify,
-2x = -2y + 2x - 12
4. Then, subtract 2x from both sides
-2x - 2x = -2y + 2x - 2x - 12
5. Simplify,
-4x = -2y - 12
6. Then, divide both sides by -4
-4x/-4 = -2y/-4 - 12/-4
7. Simplify,
x = 1/2y + 3 <======= <em>Answer</em>
