How to solve x-y=(x-y)/(2)

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

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

Solve for x

$x=y$

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by $2$.

$$2x-2y=x-y$$

Subtract $x$ from both sides.

$$2x-2y-x=-y$$

Combine $2x$ and $-x$ to get $x$.

$$x-2y=-y$$

Add $2y$ to both sides.

$$x=-y+2y$$

Combine $-y$ and $2y$ to get $y$.

$$x=y$$

Show Solution

Solve for y

$y=x$

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by $2$.

$$2x-2y=x-y$$

Add $y$ to both sides.

$$2x-2y+y=x$$

Combine $-2y$ and $y$ to get $-y$.

$$2x-y=x$$

Subtract $2x$ from both sides.

$$-y=x-2x$$

Combine $x$ and $-2x$ to get $-x$.

$$-y=-x$$

Cancel out $-1$ on both sides.

$$y=x$$
