Step by step explanation is given blow
Explanation:
Think of this as a proportion
4/(9y-6)=2/1
We know if
Basically we are flipping and that would help us
(9y-6)/4=1/2
Let us multiply
cancel(4)xx(9y-6)/cancel(4)=4xx1/2
9y-6 = 2
To solve for
Let us start with
9y-cancel(6)+cancel(6) = 2+6
9y=8
(cancel(9)y)/cancel(9) =8/9
y=8/9
Let us check if our solution is correct by plugging
4/(9y-6) = 2
4/(9(8/9)-6)=2
4/(8-6)=2
4/2=2
2=2 quad this is a true statement so the solution is valid.
