Solve =72.6/y_{2}=0.998*46.5/1.123*34.5

$$= \frac { 72.6 } { y _ { 2 } } = \frac { 0.998 \times 46.5 } { 1.123 \times 34.5 }$$

Solve for y_2

$$y_{2} = \frac{9375927}{154690} = 60\frac{94527}{154690} \approx 60.61107376$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable y_{2} cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by y_{2}.

$$72.6=\frac{2000}{77487}y_{2}\times 0.998\times 46.5$$

Multiply \frac{2000}{77487} and 0.998 to get \frac{1996}{77487}.

$$72.6=\frac{1996}{77487}y_{2}\times 46.5$$

Multiply \frac{1996}{77487} and 46.5 to get \frac{30938}{25829}.

$$72.6=\frac{30938}{25829}y_{2}$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$\frac{30938}{25829}y_{2}=72.6$$

Divide both sides by \frac{30938}{25829}.

$$y_{2}=\frac{72.6}{\frac{30938}{25829}}$$
