Using proportions, it is found that the thickness of the icing between the layers, in inches, is of:

E 1 inch

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

In this problem, there are six layers, each measuring 1.25 inches tall, hence the height of these layers is:

6 x 1.25 = 7.5 inches

Then the height of the icing between the layers is of:

13.5 - 7.5 = 6 inches

Six layers, hence each icing is of:

6/6 = 1 inch

Solve for y x+2y=6. what's the answer
Luda [366]

Solve for y

x+2y=6

Add (-x) to both sides:

x + 2y + (-x) = 6 + (-x)

Simplify:

2y = 6 - x

  Divide both sides by 2

2y/2 = (6-x) / 2

2y/2 = 6/2 - x/2

  y = 3 - x/2
