Question

4/3y=48

solve for y

simplify answer as much as posible

Answer 1

If you mean :

`(4)/(3y) = 48 \\`

Inverse both sides

`(3y)/(4) = (1)/(48) \\`

Multiply both sides by 4

`4 * (3y)/(4) = 4 * (1)/(48) \\`

`3y = (4)/(48) \\`

`3y = (4 * 1)/(4 * 12) \\`

`3y = (1)/(12) \\`

Divide both sides by 3

`3y / 3 = (1)/(12) / 3 \\`

`y = (1)/(12) * (1)/(3) \\`

`y = (1)/(36) \\`

_____________________________________________

If u mean :

`(4)/(3) y = 48 \\`

Multiply both sides by the 3

`3 * (4)/(3) y = 3 * 48 \\`

`4y = 3 * 48`

Divide both sides by 4

`4y / 4 = 3 * 48 / 4`

`y = (48 * 3)/(4) \\`

`y = (4 * 12 * 3)/(4 * 1) \\`

`y = 12 * 3`

`y = 36`
