Multiply by the denominators to remove the fractional nature of the equation and solve.

# y xx 1/4 xx ( 36)/y = y xx 1/4 xx 9/(1/4)#

This removes the denominators leaving

# 1/4 xx 36 = y xx 9 #

multiplying gives

# 9 = 9y #

dividing both sides by 9 to solve for y

# 9/9 = 9y/9 # gives

# 1 = y #
