You can put this solution on YOUR website!
By asking you to have it in terms of y, simply means that y is going to be part of your answer.


You should solve for x just like you would any other problem, by adding 2y to both sides


When you do that you get +x+=+2y+%2B+18+
Because Y is in your solution of x, it means you have solved for x in terms of y.
