Question

How do you solve the linear equation 8x=32y

Answer 1

`x=4y` and
`y= x/4`

Explanation:

To obtain the exact values of the x and y we must have two equations to solve

For the given equation

`8x=32y` , the value of x and y can be find in terms of other

solving the equation to obtain x

`x=32y/8\\x=4y`

Where the value of 'x' is four times the value of 'y'

Similarly, we can find the value of 'y' in terms of 'x'.

`8x=32y`

`y=8x/32\\y=x/4`

So the value of 'y' is quarter the value of 'x'.
