Solving a literal equation with a variable on both sides 2y - 2x=y , y

The video tutorial explains how to solve an equation for Y when Y appears on both sides. The process involves moving all Y terms to one side by subtracting Y from both sides, resulting in Y being isolated. The final step is to add 2X to the other side, leading to the solution Y = 2X. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the steps taken to solve the equation.

What is the first step in solving an equation with the same variable on both sides?

• Multiply both sides by zero

• Add the variables together

• Bring all terms with the variable to one side

• Divide both sides by the variable

What happens when you subtract Y from both sides of the equation?

• Y is doubled on both sides

• Y is added to both sides

• Y is divided by two

• Y becomes zero on one side

After subtracting Y from both sides, what is the next step to solve for Y?

• Multiply by 2X

• Add 2X to the other side

• Subtract 2X from both sides

• Divide by 2X

What is the result of adding 2X to the other side of the equation?

• Y is multiplied by 2

• Y is divided by 2

• Y is eliminated

• Y is isolated

What does the final equation look like after solving for Y?

• Y = X/2

• Y = X + 2

• Y = 2X

• Y = 0
