2x=y+1/2 how do you turn this equation into an equation that is ax+by=c?
Please help and explain. Thank you.
okay you divide by 2x and 1/2
okay you divide by 2x and 1/2 you answer wuld be 1
2x = y + 1/2
Subtract y from both sides.
2x - y = 1/2
Done!

To turn the equation 2x = y + 1/2 into an equation in the form ax + by = c, we need to rearrange it.
First, let's get rid of the fraction by multiplying every term by a common denominator. The denominator of 1/2 is 2, so we multiply both sides of the equation by 2:
2 * (2x) = 2 * (y + 1/2)
This simplifies to:
4x = 2y + 1
Next, let's rearrange the equation in the required form ax + by = c.
To do this, move the x term to the left side and the y term to the right side:
4x - 2y = 1
We now have the equation in the form ax + by = c, where a = 4, b = -2, and c = 1.
