Solve 11/2:y=7/10

$$1 \frac { 1 } { 2 } : y = \frac { 7 } { 10 }$$

Solve for y

$$y = \frac{15}{7} = 2\frac{1}{7} \approx 2.142857143$$

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 10y, the least common multiple of y,10.

$$10\times \frac{1\times 2+1}{2}=7y$$

Multiply 1 and 2 to get 2.

$$10\times \frac{2+1}{2}=7y$$

Add 2 and 1 to get 3.

$$10\times \frac{3}{2}=7y$$

Express 10\times \frac{3}{2} as a single fraction.

$$\frac{10\times 3}{2}=7y$$

Multiply 10 and 3 to get 30.

$$\frac{30}{2}=7y$$

Divide 30 by 2 to get 15.

$$15=7y$$

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

$$7y=15$$

Divide both sides by 7.

$$y=\frac{15}{7}$$
