50+\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}y=95
Use the distributive property to multiply x+y by \frac{1}{2}.
\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}y=95-50
Subtract 50 from both sides.
\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}y=45
Subtract 50 from 95 to get 45.
\frac{1}{2}x=45-\frac{1}{2}y
Subtract \frac{1}{2}y from both sides.
\frac{1}{2}x=-\frac{y}{2}+45
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\frac{1}{2}x}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{-\frac{y}{2}+45}{\frac{1}{2}}
Multiply both sides by 2.
x=\frac{-\frac{y}{2}+45}{\frac{1}{2}}
Dividing by \frac{1}{2} undoes the multiplication by \frac{1}{2}.
x=90-y
Divide 45-\frac{y}{2} by \frac{1}{2} by multiplying 45-\frac{y}{2} by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{2}.
