x=4 and the y=10
You need to divide 22/4=5.5
Then multiply 10*5.5=55
I hope its helpful for you!!!

Lets write out:

x =4, y = 10. Find y when x = 22.


(4)/(10)= (22)/(y)

We need to find y. Lets do it:

10 × 22 = 220
220 ÷ 4 = 54
y = 54

Lets check:


(4)/(10)= (22)/(y)

22 × 10 = 220
55 × 4 = 220
Yes, we are right!
y = 55

When x = 4, y = 10. Find y when x = 22.
When x = 22, y = 55.
Answer: y = 55
