Question

12 divided by 4y+6 = 2/7

Answer 1

y=9 is the answer.

Explanation:

The given statement

12 divided by 4y+6 = 2/7

we have to find the value of y.

12/ 4y+6 = 2/7

By cross multipling, we get 12 ×7= 2 × (4y +6)

84 = 8y + 12

8y + 12 = 84

8y = 84 - 12

8y = 72

y = 72/ 8

y = 9 is the answer.

Answer 2

The correct answer is y = 9

Explanation:

It is given that,

12/(4y + 6) = 2/7

To find the value of y

12/(4y + 6) = 2/7

By cross multiplying,

12 * 7 = 2 * (4y + 6 )

84 = 8y + 12

8y + 12 = 84

8y = 84 - 12

8y = 72

y = 72/8 = 9

y = 9

Therefore by solving the given expression we get the value of y = 9
