Question

Solve for y using Proportion.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer would be A) 0

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, cross multiply to solve.

y/p-q = y/p+q

y(p + q) = y(p - q)

yp + yq = yp - yq -----> Subtract yp from both sides

yq = -yq -----> Add yq to both sides

2yq = 0 ------> divide by 2q

y = 0

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{y}{p-q}=\frac{y}{p+q}$

Solving by proportions :

$a:b:: c:d$

$ad=bc$

So,

$y\times (p+q)=y\times (p-q)$

$p+q=p-q$

$p-p=-q-q$

$0=-2q$

q = 0

Hence, the correct answer is option A.
