#18=y#

#6/23=y/69|*69#
#(6*69)/23=y/cancel(69)cancel(*69)#
#(6*3*cancel(23))/cancel(23)=y#
#6*3=18=y#

See method below.

You want to rearrange the equation so that you isolate y on one side.

#6/23 = y/69#

You can multiply both sides by 69 to get the following:

#6/23 times 69= y#

#6/23 times 69= 18#

therefore #y=18#
