x/2=3y/5
can you show me how you got the answer please
y=3/4x-2
I don't think it is correct.
Starting over
To solve for y
first multiply both sides by 5
(5)x/2=3y/5 (5)
Cancel 5 on right side to get
5x/2=3y
Now multiply both sides by 1/3 to get
5x/6=y
To solve the equation x/2 = 3y/5, we need to isolate the variable y.
Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to eliminate the fraction on the right side:
5 * (x/2) = 5 * (3y/5)
This simplifies to:
5x/2 = 3y
Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate y:
(5x/2) / 3 = (3y) / 3
Simplifying further:
5x/6 = y
So, the correct equation is y = (5x/6).
