x-y=1.5x+9
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.
x-y-1.5x=9
Subtract 1.5x from both sides.
-0.5x-y=9
Combine x and -1.5x to get -0.5x.
-0.5x=9+y
Add y to both sides.
-0.5x=y+9
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-0.5x}{-0.5}=\frac{y+9}{-0.5}
Multiply both sides by -2.
x=\frac{y+9}{-0.5}
Dividing by -0.5 undoes the multiplication by -0.5.
x=-2y-18
Divide 9+y by -0.5 by multiplying 9+y by the reciprocal of -0.5.
x-y=1.5x+9
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.
-y=1.5x+9-x
Subtract x from both sides.
-y=0.5x+9
Combine 1.5x and -x to get 0.5x.
-y=\frac{x}{2}+9
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{\frac{x}{2}+9}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
y=\frac{\frac{x}{2}+9}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
y=-\frac{x}{2}-9
Divide \frac{x}{2}+9 by -1.
