Solve x/y=12.86

$$\frac{ x }{ y } =12.86$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{50x}{643}$$

$$x\neq 0$$

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.

$$x=12.86y$$

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

$$12.86y=x$$

Divide both sides of the equation by 12.86, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{12.86y}{12.86}=\frac{x}{12.86}$$

Dividing by 12.86 undoes the multiplication by 12.86.

$$y=\frac{x}{12.86}$$

Divide x by 12.86 by multiplying x by the reciprocal of 12.86.

$$y=\frac{50x}{643}$$

Variable y cannot be equal to 0.

$$y=\frac{50x}{643}\text{, }y\neq 0$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{643y}{50}$$

$$y\neq 0$$

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by y.

$$x=12.86y$$
