Question

Solve the equation 4/15=2/y+8

Answer 1

-0.258620689

Explanation:

Answer 2

y = -
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Given

`(4)/(15)` =
`(2)/(y+8)` ( cross- multiply )

4(y + 8) = 30 ← distribute left side

4y + 32 = 30 ( subtract 32 from both sides )

4y = - 2 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y =
`(-2)/(4)` = -
`(1)/(2)`
