Question

Find 3 over 7 = 6 over y

Answer 1

Given the equation:

`(3)/(7)=(6)/(y)`

Let's solve the equation for y.

Take the following steps:

Step 1.

Cross multiply:

`\begin{gathered} 3\ast y=7\ast6 \\ \\ 3y=42 \end{gathered}`

Step 2.

Divide both sides by 3:

`\begin{gathered} (3y)/(3)=(42)/(3) \\ \\ y=14 \end{gathered}`

ANSWER:

y = 14
