snowflake0531:

All the sides are proportional

jhonyy9:

use the proportionality of corresponding sides

snowflake0531:

so, if you first wanted to find x you could do x/4 = 15/12 then solve for x

lilcutie2:

15/12=1.25

snowflake0531:

ummm, ig you could do that for this one, since it's rational... but it would be better to cross-multiply but anyways so x/4 = 1.25 1.25 times 4 is...

lilcutie2:

5

snowflake0531:

great so now for y you could write, 4/3 = 12/y cross multiply \[4/3 = 12/y\]

lilcutie2:

4/3=1.33

snowflake0531:

CROSS MULTIPLY *emphasis

snowflake0531:

4*y=3*12 what is 3*12?

lilcutie2:

36

snowflake0531:

okay so 4y=36 y=...?

jhonyy9:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @snowflake0531 4*y=3*12 what is 3*12? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) good job

lilcutie2:

so dived by 4

snowflake0531:

yes, divide 36 by 4

lilcutie2:

9

snowflake0531:

yes so there's your y!
