Write in Standard Form 1/2y=1

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

Step 1

The standard form of a linear equation is $A x + B y = C$ .

Step 2

Multiply both sides by $2$ .

$2 (\frac{1}{2} y) = 2 \cdot 1$

Step 3

Simplify the left side.

Simplify $2 (\frac{1}{2} y)$ .

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

$2 \frac{y}{2} = 2 \cdot 1$

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$2 \frac{y}{2} = 2 \cdot 1$

Rewrite the expression.

$y = 2 \cdot 1$

Step 4

Simplify the right side.

Multiply $2$ by $1$ .

$y = 2$
