3x=720-0.5y
Subtract 0.5y from both sides.
3x=-\frac{y}{2}+720
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{-\frac{y}{2}+720}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{-\frac{y}{2}+720}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
x=-\frac{y}{6}+240
Divide 720-\frac{y}{2} by 3.
0.5y=720-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides.
\frac{0.5y}{0.5}=\frac{720-3x}{0.5}
Multiply both sides by 2.
y=\frac{720-3x}{0.5}
Dividing by 0.5 undoes the multiplication by 0.5.
y=1440-6x
Divide 720-3x by 0.5 by multiplying 720-3x by the reciprocal of 0.5.
