(3y-8)/(12)= y/5

\frac{3 y - 8}{12} = \frac{y}{5}

y = \frac{40}{3}

Decimal Notation

y = 13.33333 \dots

Solution steps

\frac{3 y - 8}{12} = \frac{y}{5}

Apply fraction cross multiply: if

\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}

then

a \cdot d = b \cdot c

(3 y - 8) \cdot 5 = 12 y

Expand

(3 y - 8) \cdot 5 : 15 y - 40

15 y - 40 = 12 y

Move

40

to the right side

15 y = 12 y + 40

Move

12 y

to the left side

3 y = 40

Divide both sides by

3

y = \frac{40}{3}

x^{2} = - 7 - 8 x

a^{4} + 2 a^{2} b^{2} + b^{4}

\frac{9 x - 1}{13} - \frac{5 x - 8}{4} = x + 6

3 x^{2} + 3 x - 1 = 0

x + 3 \leq 2 x - 7
