(If you are)- Solving The Equation
1. Multiply both sides by eight over three
8/3•1/2 = 8/3•3/8 which gives you 4/3.
2. Swap the sides of the equation
4/3=y turns into y= 4/3 and that’s your answer. (y=4/3).
(Or if you’re working on)- Rewrite In Standard Form
Swap 1/2 and 3/8y , so it should be 3/8y=1/2.
Then multiply both sides by 8/3, and that should give you y=4/3.
Then multiply both sides of the equation by 3, and that should give you 3y = 4. And 3y=4 would be your answer.
Hope these helped! :)
It would be 14, because the lines in the middle represent equality. So the long line with 1 tic mark (that's what u call the lines in the middle) means that all of the lines with 1 tic mark are equal. Same goes with the line with 2 tic marks. Hope I helped! :)
(1) 3x + 2y = 51
(2) 2x + 4y = 54
2*(1) 6x + 4y = 102
2*(1)-(2) 4x + 0y = 48
Divide by 4: x = 12
y = 7.5
