Step 2.1.2.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

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

$2 = 3 y$

Step 2.1.2.2.1.2

Divide

$x$ by

$1$ .

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

$2 = 3 y$

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

$2 = 3 y$

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

$2 = 3 y$

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

$2 = 3 y$

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

$2 = 3 y$

Step 2.2

Replace all occurrences of

$x$ with

$\frac{1}{2}$ in each equation.

Step 2.2.1

Rewrite the equation as

$3 y = 2$ .

$3 y = 2$

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

Step 2.2.2

Divide each term in

$3 y = 2$ by

$3$ and simplify.

Step 2.2.2.1

Divide each term in

$3 y = 2$ by

$3$ .

$\frac{3 y}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$

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

Step 2.2.2.2

Simplify the left side.

Tap for more steps...

Step 2.2.2.2.1

Cancel the common factor of

$3$ .

Tap for more steps...

Step 2.2.2.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 y}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$

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

Step 2.2.2.2.1.2

Divide

$y$ by

$1$ .

$y = \frac{2}{3}$

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

$y = \frac{2}{3}$

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

$y = \frac{2}{3}$

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

$y = \frac{2}{3}$

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

$y = \frac{2}{3}$

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

Step 2.3

List all of the solutions.

$y = \frac{2}{3}, x = \frac{1}{2}$

$y = \frac{2}{3}, x = \frac{1}{2}$
