Answer:

85

Explanation:

2 / 34 = 5 / Y

2 x Y = 34 x 5

2 x Y = 170

Y = 170 / 2

Y = 85

The answer would be y=85.

You would first cross multiply 2•y which equals to 2y. Then you would cross multiply 34•5 which is 170. After that you should get 2y=170, you need to get the y(the variable) by itself, so you would divide both sides by 2.

(I hope this is what you’re asking for)
