Answer:

So we have this equation:


(-4)/(3y)=(-3)/(4)

We can multiply both sides by 4 and 3y:


(-4*4*3y)/(3y)=(-3*4*3y)/(4)


-4*4=-3*3y


-16 = -9y

Now we divide both sides by 9:


(-16)/(-9)=y

And we can remove the minus signs:


(16)/(9)=y

If you mean
(-4)/(3)y=(-3)/(4):


-4y*4=-3*3


-16y = -9


y=(9)/(16)
