x - 2 y = 6

$x - 2 y = 6$

Step 1

Subtract

x

$x$ from both sides of the equation.

- 2 y = 6 - x

$- 2 y = 6 - x$

Step 2

Divide each term in

- 2 y = 6 - x

$- 2 y = 6 - x$ by

- 2

$- 2$ and simplify.

Step 2.1

Divide each term in

- 2 y = 6 - x

$- 2 y = 6 - x$ by

- 2

$- 2$ .

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

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

Step 2.2

Step 2.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

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

Step 2.2.1.2

Divide

$y$ by

$1$ .

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

Step 2.3.1.1

Divide

$6$ by

$- 2$ .

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

Step 2.3.1.2

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

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

Step 3

The domain of the expression is all real numbers except where the expression is undefined. In this case, there is no real number that makes the expression undefined.
