5?
OpenStudy (phoenixfire):
Well that's not what you get when mult by 'y'... but yes, 5 is the end answer. Good job.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I can figure the answer out but I can't find y
OpenStudy (phoenixfire):
Okay... Multiply both sides by 'y' and you get
\[60=12y\]Divide by 12
\[{60 \over 12}=y\]
\(y=5\) <- this is your answer.

How would you write it?

My teacher wants me to write out Thr whole thing....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the
OpenStudy (phoenixfire):
so just write out each of your steps.
I'll start:
\[{60\over y}=12\]\[ {60\over y}y=12y\]\[60=12y\]\[{60\over 12}={{12y}\over 12}\]
Now continue. remember to cross out any variables/values that get cancelled.
OpenStudy (phoenixfire):
For example:
\[{60\over \cancel y}\cancel y = 12y\] and \[{60 \over 12}={{\cancel{12}y}\over \cancel{12}}\]
