Let’s check out your problem:

Rearrange 
y=(2(x-a))/(x)
to make 
x the subject

Rearrange y=2(xa)x y=\frac{2(x-a)}{x} to make x x the subject

Full solution

Q. Rearrange y=2(xa)x y=\frac{2(x-a)}{x} to make x x the subject
  1. Eliminate fraction by multiplication: Multiply both sides of the equation by xx to eliminate the fraction.\newliney=2(xa)xy = \frac{2(x - a)}{x}\newlineyx=2(xa)y \cdot x = 2(x - a)
  2. Distribute yy into xx: Distribute yy into the xx on the left side of the equation.yx=2x2ayx = 2x - 2a
  3. Move terms with xx: Move all terms containing xx to one side of the equation.yx2x=2ayx - 2x = -2a
  4. Factor out xx: Factor out xx from the left side of the equation.x(y2)=2ax(y - 2) = -2a
  5. Divide by (y2)(y - 2): Divide both sides of the equation by (y2)(y - 2) to solve for xx.x=2a(y2)x = \frac{-2a}{(y - 2)}
