Solve x/y=6

$$\frac { x } { y } = 6$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{x}{6}$$

$$x\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$x=6y$$

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

$$6y=x$$

Divide both sides by 6.

$$\frac{6y}{6}=\frac{x}{6}$$

Dividing by 6 undoes the multiplication by 6.

$$y=\frac{x}{6}$$

Variable y cannot be equal to 0.

$$y=\frac{x}{6}\text{, }y\neq 0$$

Solve for x

$$x=6y$$

$$y\neq 0$$

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by y.

$$x=6y$$
