Answer:

y = x/2 - z

Explanation:

We'll "solve 2(y + z) = x for y in terms of x and z"

We wish to isolate y in 2(y + z) = x.

Start by dividing both sides by 2. We get (y + z) = x/2

Remove the parentheses: y + z = x/2

Subtract z from both sides: y = x/2 - z

This last result "makes y the subject"
