Solve for x.

1/2x +1/2(1/2x + 1/2(1/2x +1/2(1/2x + ... = y,

FOOTNOTE: 'x' is a variable.

Yes, you do. y = If 1/2x +1/2(1/2x + 1/2(1/2x +1/2(1/2x + ...

And '...' means the problem's syntax repeats.

you don't know both variables, so do we have to solve in terms of y?

1/2x +1/2(1/2x + 1/2(1/2x +1/2(1/2x + ... = y
0/2x +1/2(1/2x + 1/2(1/2x +1/2(1/2x + ... = 1/2y
----------------------------------------
1/2x = 1/2 y
so x=y
