Identify all of the terms containing y. In this equation, the only y term is on the left side. Identify all the terms on that (left) side that do not contain y. Subtract those terms from both sides of the equation.
2x + y = 11
2x + y - 2x = 11 - 2x (subtract the "not y" term)
y = 11 - 2x (simplify)
_____
If the resulting equation has a y coefficient that is not 1, divide the equation by it.
2x + y = 11
2x + y - 2x = 11 - 2x (subtract the "not y" term)
y = 11 - 2x (simplify)
_____
If the resulting equation has a y coefficient that is not 1, divide the equation by it.
