$16 y = \frac{1}{2} x + 18$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $\frac{1}{2} x + 18 = 16 y$ .

$\frac{1}{2} x + 18 = 16 y$

Step 2

Since $2$ is on the right side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left side of the equation.

$16 y - \frac{x}{2} - 18 = 0$

Step 3

Since $2$ is on the right side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left side of the equation.

$- 16 y + \frac{x}{2} + 18 = 0$
