The quotient means division. So we have one part of the equation.
y/2 (sorry, the variable thing doesn't work)
Then we know there is an equal mark and the other equation would be 2y-8 because y is multiplied two times and it is subtracted by eight. And then it says it is equal to, so we hate the final equation: y/2=2y-8.
Thank you for the points! Hope I helped!
6 yards = 216 inches
make a proportion and cross multiply:
3/216 = 2/x
*cross multiply*
3x = 216(2)
x = 144 inches or 4 yards
1.23 is decimal notation for "1 and 23 hundredths." Written as a mixed number, this is 1 23/100
X - 9 = 8
x - 9 +9 = 8 +9
x = 17
x = 17
