Solve y-1/2x=0

$$y - \frac { 1 } { 2 } x = 0$$

Solve for x

$$x=2y$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-\frac{1}{2}x=-y$$

Multiply both sides by -2.

$$\frac{-\frac{1}{2}x}{-\frac{1}{2}}=-\frac{y}{-\frac{1}{2}}$$

Dividing by -\frac{1}{2} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{1}{2}.

$$x=-\frac{y}{-\frac{1}{2}}$$

Divide -y by -\frac{1}{2} by multiplying -y by the reciprocal of -\frac{1}{2}.

$$x=2y$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{x}{2}$$

Solution Steps

Add \frac{1}{2}x to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$y=\frac{1}{2}x$$
