Question

Solve the proportion for the variable 6/y= 9/33

Answer 1

$\bold{Hey\ there!}$

• $\bold{\frac{6}{y}=\frac{9}{33}}$

• $\bold{First, you\ have \ to \ 'cross \ multiply'}$
• $\bold{Like\rightarrow 6\times33=9\times y}$
• $\bold{6\times33=198}$
• $\bold{9\times y=9y}$
• $\bold{Your\ problem\ becomes: 9y=198}$
• $\bold{Next, we\ have\ to \ DIVIDE\ by\ 9\ on\ each\ of \ your\ sides!}$
• $\bold{Like\rightarrow \frac{9y}{9}=\frac{198}{9}}$
• $\bold{Cancel\ out:\frac{9y}{9}\ because\ it \ equals\ 1}$
• $\bold{Keep:\frac{198}{9}\ because\ it\ gives\ us\ the \ answer}$
• $\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:y=22}}}\checkmark$

$\bold{Good \ luck \ on \ your \ assignment \&}$  $\bold{enjoy\ your \ day!}$

Answer 2

Answer: $y=22$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Multiply by y both sides of the equation, as following:

$\frac{6y}{y}=\frac{9y}{33}\\\\6=\frac{9y}{33}$

2. Now you must multiply by 33 both sides of the equation, as following:

$6*33=\frac{9y}{33}*33\\198=9y$

3. Now you must divide both sides of the equation by 9. Therefore, you obtain:

$\frac{198}{9}=\frac{9y}{9}\\y=22$
