What is the equivalent to the following equation?

x=y/2 - 3

As posted, the equation is as follows:

. . . . .\(\displaystyle x\, =\, \dfrac{y}{2}\, -\, 3\)

a. y+3=x/2
b. 2x + y = 3
c. 2(x+y)=3
d. 1/2y= 3+x

Please explain your answer.

I know that the correct answer is D, but I got it wrong and selected B.

I just could not figure out how to come up with the answer.

What do you get if both sides of the equation get multiplied by 2.

\(\displaystyle 2*x = 2*\left[\frac{y}{2} \ - \ 3 \right]\)
