Solve for y x+0.5y=1.5

$x + 0.5 y = 1.5$

Subtract $x$ from both sides of the equation.

$0.5 y = 1.5 - x$

Divide each term by $0.5$ and simplify.

Tap for more steps…

Divide each term in $0.5 y = 1.5 - x$ by $0.5$ .

$\frac{0.5 y}{0.5} = \frac{1.5}{0.5} + \frac{- x}{0.5}$

Cancel the common factor of $0.5$ .

$y = \frac{1.5}{0.5} + \frac{- x}{0.5}$

Simplify each term.

Divide $1.5$ by $0.5$ .

$y = 3 + \frac{- x}{0.5}$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y = 3 - \frac{x}{0.5}$

Multiply by $1$ .

$y = 3 - \frac{1 x}{0.5}$

Factor $0.5$ out of $0.5$ .

$y = 3 - \frac{1 x}{0.5 (1)}$

Separate fractions.

$y = 3 - (\frac{1}{0.5} \cdot \frac{x}{1})$

Divide $1$ by $0.5$ .

$y = 3 - (2 \frac{x}{1})$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$y = 3 - (2 x)$

Multiply $2$ by $- 1$ .

$y = 3 - 2 x$
