Solve for p a=1/2ap

$a = \frac{1}{2} a p$

Rewrite the equation as $\frac{1}{2} \cdot (a p) = a$ .

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot (a p) = a$

Multiply both sides of the equation by $2$ .

$2 (\frac{1}{2} \cdot (a p)) = 2 a$

Simplify the left side.

Simplify $2 (\frac{1}{2} \cdot (a p))$ .

Multiply $\frac{1}{2} (a p)$ .

Combine $a$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ .

$2 (\frac{a}{2} p) = 2 a$

Combine $\frac{a}{2}$ and $p$ .

$2 \frac{a p}{2} = 2 a$

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$2 \frac{a p}{2} = 2 a$

Rewrite the expression.

$a p = 2 a$

Divide each term in $a p = 2 a$ by $a$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $a p = 2 a$ by $a$ .

$\frac{a p}{a} = \frac{2 a}{a}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $a$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{a p}{a} = \frac{2 a}{a}$

Divide $p$ by $1$ .

$p = \frac{2 a}{a}$

Simplify the right side.

Cancel the common factor of $a$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$p = \frac{2 a}{a}$

Divide $2$ by $1$ .

$p = 2$
