Question

what are the step to solve for x/a=y/b solve for x

Answer 1

x/a = y/b

(a)*x/a = (a)* y/b

x = ay/b ( "a" cancelled out)

Answer 2

\[\frac{x}{a}=\frac{y}{b}\]Multiplying across,\[bx=ay\]Making it explicit for y:\[x=\frac{a}{b}y\]

Answer 3

*Making it explicit for x:

Answer 4

Unless you have another equation, you won't be able to solve this system.
Two variables (x and y) require two equations to find its solutions.
