Question

If x/y = 3 and the value of y = 2, what is the value of x?

Answer 1

The correct answer is : 6

Explanation:

`(x)/(y) =3`

plug in 2 for y

`(x)/(2) =3`

multiply by 2 on both sides to isolate x

`2 *(x)/(2) =3*2`

the 2's on the left cancel out leaving

`x=6`

Answer 2

x = 6

Explanation:

x / y = 3

y = 2

x / 2 = 3

x = 3(2)

x = 6
