Question

I am trying to solve this thing. I found the value for x for I can find y. Can someone help please ? Make sure you show your work. Thanks!

Answer 1

7/x=8/y, so that 7*y=8*x, and y = 8*x/7, now you can substitute x = 14/3, and get y= 16/3

Answer 2

Use the same proportion to find y that you use to find x.
6/4 = 8/y
Cross multiply
6y = 8*4
6y = 32
divide both sides by 6
y = 32/6 = 16/3
