x=\frac{y\times 2}{2y}
Divide \frac{y}{2} by \frac{y}{2} by multiplying \frac{y}{2} by the reciprocal of \frac{y}{2}.
x=1
Cancel out 2y in both numerator and denominator.
x=\frac{y\times 2}{2y}
Divide \frac{y}{2} by \frac{y}{2} by multiplying \frac{y}{2} by the reciprocal of \frac{y}{2}.
x=\frac{y}{y}
Cancel out 2 in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{y}{y}=x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
y=xy
Variable y cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by y.
y-xy=0
Subtract xy from both sides.
\left(1-x\right)y=0
Combine all terms containing y.
y=0
Divide 0 by 1-x.
y\in \emptyset
Variable y cannot be equal to 0.
