Question

How do you evaluate `6= y/9.6`?

Answer 1

`y = 57.6`

Explanation:

Multiply both sides of the equation by `color(red)(9.6)`:

`6 = y/9.6`

`6 times color(red)(9.6) = y/9.6 times color(red)(9.6)`

`6 times color(red)(9.6) = y/cancel9.6 times cancelcolor(red)(9.6)`

`6 times 9.6 = y`

Now we just need to multiply 9.6 by 6:

`57.6 = y`

Final Answer

Answer 2

`57.6=y`

Explanation:

I presume you mean solve for `y`:

Isolate the `y` by multiplying `9.6` to both sides while keeping the equation balanced.

`color(red)9.6*6=y/cancel9.6*cancelcolor(red)9.6`

`57.6=y`
