First get all the x terms on one side by subtracting x from each side:
2xy = x+7
2xy - x = x+7 -x
2xy -x = 7

Next, you must get the x in one place by factoring the common factor of x:
x(2y -1) = 7

Now, divide both sides by (2y-1):
%28x%282y-1%29%29%2F%282y+-1%29+=+7%2F%282y-1%29+
x+=+7%2F%282y-1%29+
