Question

Solve for y. X=(4/5)y
I need help!

Answer 1

what you need to do is divide both sides by (y)
once you do that then you should divide that answer by x
does that make sense?

Answer 2

kinda

Answer 3

if you want to solve for y, you want to separate y and get it by itself. To do that, you have to move (4/5)

Since your problem is x = (4/5)y
It's basically x = (4/5) * y
What is the opposite of multiplication? Division
Divide (4/5) from y and x to get y by iself
When you divide a fraction, it's cross multiply
x / (4/5) is basically x * (5/4)
and (4/5) cancel out with (4/5)y

so now y is alone, rewrite your equation
it should be (5/4)x = y
