8\left(x-\frac{x}{2}\right)=2y+x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
8\times \frac{1}{2}x=2y+x
Combine x and -\frac{x}{2} to get \frac{1}{2}x.
4x=2y+x
Multiply 8 and \frac{1}{2} to get 4.
4x-x=2y
Subtract x from both sides.
3x=2y
Combine 4x and -x to get 3x.
\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{2y}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{2y}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
8\left(x-\frac{x}{2}\right)=2y+x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
8\times \frac{1}{2}x=2y+x
Combine x and -\frac{x}{2} to get \frac{1}{2}x.
4x=2y+x
Multiply 8 and \frac{1}{2} to get 4.
2y+x=4x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2y=4x-x
Subtract x from both sides.
2y=3x
Combine 4x and -x to get 3x.
\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{3x}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=\frac{3x}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
