Answer:


x=2y-4

Explanation:


y=(1)/(2) x+2

"To make x the subject" means to have the equation with all the terms in x on one side. As of now, y is the subject of the equation.

You start by subtracting 2 from both sides, you should get the following.


y-2=(1)/(2) x

Then you multiply by 2 from both sides, you should end up with the following.


2(y-2)=x

Therefore, you get the following.


x=2(y-2)

Finally, you distribute and get the answer.


x=2y-4
