Absolutely, I can help you with that. Let's solve the equation [tex]\( 2x = y \)[/tex] for [tex]\( x \)[/tex].
1. Given Equation:
[tex]\[
2x = y
\][/tex]
2. Isolate [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
We want to solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex], so we need to isolate [tex]\( x \)[/tex] on one side of the equation.
3. Divide Both Sides by 2:
To isolate [tex]\( x \)[/tex], divide both sides of the equation by 2:
[tex]\[
\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{y}{2}
\][/tex]
4. Simplify:
The left side simplifies to [tex]\( x \)[/tex] because [tex]\( \frac{2x}{2} = x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
x = \frac{y}{2}
\][/tex]
So, the solution to the equation [tex]\( 2x = y \)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[
x = \frac{y}{2}
\][/tex]
