Question

2x/5y=6, what is the value of y in terms of x??

Answer 1

\[2*x/5*y=6\]

Answer 2

oops, \[(2*x)/(5*y)=6\]

Answer 3

ok, you can multiply both sides by 5y therefore \[(2*x)/(5*y)=6\] becomes \[(5*y)*(2*x)/(5*y)=6*(5*y)\]

Answer 4

5y cancels on both sides \[2*x = 6*(5*y)\]

Answer 5

now isolate y

Answer 6

by dividing both sides by 30, the result of 6*5

Answer 7

what about the 2?

Answer 8

you keep the 2 you then have 2/30 * x = y

Answer 9

so 1/15x=y??

Answer 10

Multiply through by 5y

2x = 30y -> y = 2x/30 = x/15
