Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

W = x - y/2 - z

Step 2: Solve for y

1. Add z to both sides:                    W + z = x - y/2
2. Subtract x on both sides:            W + z - x = -y/2
3. Multiply -2 on both sides:           -2(W + z - x) = y
4. Distribute -2:                                -2W - 2z + 2x = y
5. Rewrite:                                        y = -2W - 2z + 2x

Answer 2

Answer:

y=2(w+z)-x
