Answer

x=y(1+2w)w+1x = \frac{y(1 + 2w)}{w + 1}

Step-by-step solution

6 steps

Here is the solution for the equation:

x−2y=y−xwx - 2y = \frac{y-x}{w}

The goal is to express xx in terms of yy and ww.

  1. Multiply both sides of the equation by ww to eliminate the denominator.

    w(x−2y)=y−xw(x - 2y) = y - x
  2. Distribute ww on the left side of the equation.

    wx−2wy=y−xwx - 2wy = y - x
  3. Gather all terms containing xx on one side of the equation and terms not containing xx on the other side.

    Add xx to both sides and add 2wy2wy to both sides.

    wx+x=y+2wywx + x = y + 2wy
  4. Factor out xx from the terms on the left side.

    x(w+1)=y+2wyx(w + 1) = y + 2wy
  5. Divide both sides by (w+1)(w+1) to isolate xx.

    x=y+2wyw+1x = \frac{y + 2wy}{w + 1}
  6. (Optional) Factor out yy from the numerator.

    x=y(1+2w)w+1x = \frac{y(1 + 2w)}{w + 1}

    The solution for xx in terms of yy and ww is:
