Explanation:

2x + y = 21

Solving

2x + y = 21

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1y' to each side of the equation.

2x + y + -1y = 21 + -1y

Combine like terms: y + -1y = 0

2x + 0 = 21 + -1y

2x = 21 + -1y

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 10.5 + -0.5y

Simplifying

x = 10.5 + -0.5y
