Step 1.2.1

Subtract $2 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 34 y = x - 2 x$

Step 1.2.2

Subtract $2 x$ from $x$ .

$- 34 y = - x$

Step 1.3

Divide each term in $- 34 y = - x$ by $- 34$ and simplify.

Step 1.3.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 34 y}{- 34} = \frac{- x}{- 34}$

Step 1.3.2.1.2

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{- x}{- 34}$

Step 1.3.3

Simplify the right side.

Step 1.3.3.1

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$y = \frac{x}{34}$

Step 2

Set $2 x - 34 y$ equal to $0$ .

$\frac{x}{34} = 0$

Step 3

Set the numerator equal to zero.

$x = 0$
