0.5x=36-0.2y
Subtract 0.2y from both sides.
0.5x=-\frac{y}{5}+36
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{0.5x}{0.5}=\frac{-\frac{y}{5}+36}{0.5}
Multiply both sides by 2.
x=\frac{-\frac{y}{5}+36}{0.5}
Dividing by 0.5 undoes the multiplication by 0.5.
x=-\frac{2y}{5}+72
Divide 36-\frac{y}{5} by 0.5 by multiplying 36-\frac{y}{5} by the reciprocal of 0.5.
0.2y=36-0.5x
Subtract 0.5x from both sides.
0.2y=-\frac{x}{2}+36
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{0.2y}{0.2}=\frac{-\frac{x}{2}+36}{0.2}
Multiply both sides by 5.
y=\frac{-\frac{x}{2}+36}{0.2}
Dividing by 0.2 undoes the multiplication by 0.2.
y=-\frac{5x}{2}+180
Divide 36-\frac{x}{2} by 0.2 by multiplying 36-\frac{x}{2} by the reciprocal of 0.2.
