Question

If
`(2x)/(5y)` = 6 what is the value of y in terms of x

Answer 1

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

y = x/15

Discussion:

Given:

2x/5y = 6 => (multiply both sides by 5y)

(2x/5y) 5y = 6 * (5y) =>

2x = 30y => (divide both sides by 30)

(2/30)x = y =>

y = x/15

( or you could also multiply both sides of the original equation by "y" and then divide both sides by 6)

Thank you,

MrB
