We want to find y from the equation
\frac{3}{y-2} =8

Multiply each side by (y - 2).
(y-2).( \frac{3}{y-2)}) = 8(y-2)
Note that (y-2) in the numerator and denominator cancel out on the left side.
Therefore
3 = 8(y - 2)
3 = 8y - 16
Add 16  to each side.
3 + 16 = 8y - 16 + 16
19 = 8y
Divideach side by 8.
19/8 = y

Answer: y= \frac{19}{8}

To prove that all circles are similar you would use the sequence of similarity ______.
Nikolay [14]
Two figures are similar are one of them can be obtained from the other with some transformations (reflections, translations, rotations, dilations) <span> . The circle is defined by only one length - the radius.
</span>
To prove that all circles are similar you would use the sequence of similarity translation and dilation. A translation, followed by a dilation with scale factor r2/r1 will map one circle onto the other, thus proving that the circles are similar.
