Here is the solution for the equation:
x−2y=wy−x
The goal is to express x in terms of y and w.
Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by w to eliminate the denominator.
w(x−2y)=y−x
Step 2: Distribute w on the left side of the equation.
wx−2wy=y−x
Step 3: Gather all terms containing x on one side of the equation and terms not containing x on the other side. Add x to both sides and add 2wy to both sides.
wx+x=y+2wy
Step 4: Factor out x from the terms on the left side.
x(w+1)=y+2wy
Step 5: Divide both sides by (w+1) to isolate x.
x=w+1y+2wy
Step 6: (Optional) Factor out y from the numerator.
x=w+1y(1+2w)
The solution for x in terms of y and w is:
x=w+1y(1+2w)
