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

Simplify

Detail solution

Given the linear equation:

x = (1-x)/2

Expand brackets in the right part

x = 1/2-x/2

Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\frac{3 x}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 3/2

x = 1/2 / (3/2)

We get the answer: x = 1/3
