\bold{Hey\ there!}


  • \bold{(6)/(y)=(9)/(33)}

  • \bold{First, you\ have \ to \ 'cross \ multiply'}

  • \bold{Like\rightarrow 6*33=9* y}

  • \bold{6*33=198}

  • \bold{9* y=9y}

  • \bold{Your\ problem\ becomes: 9y=198}

  • \bold{Next, we\ have\ to \ DIVIDE\ by\ 9\ on\ each\ of \ your\ sides!}

  • \bold{Like\rightarrow (9y)/(9)=(198)/(9)}

  • \bold{Cancel\ out:(9y)/(9)\ because\ it \ equals\ 1}

  • \bold{Keep:(198)/(9)\ because\ it\ gives\ us\ the \ answer}

  • \boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:y=22}}}\checkmark


\bold{Good \ luck \ on \ your \ assignment \&}
\bold{enjoy\ your \ day!}

Answer:
y=22

Explanation:

1. Multiply by y both sides of the equation, as following:


(6y)/(y)=(9y)/(33)\\\\6=(9y)/(33)

2. Now you must multiply by 33 both sides of the equation, as following:


6*33=(9y)/(33)*33\\198=9y

3. Now you must divide both sides of the equation by 9. Therefore, you obtain:


(198)/(9)=(9y)/(9)\\y=22
