Solve 3.2x=1.2y

$$3.2 x = 1.2 y$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{3y}{8}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

The equation is in standard form.

$$3.2x=\frac{6y}{5}$$

Divide both sides of the equation by 3.2, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{3.2x}{3.2}=\frac{6y}{3.2\times 5}$$

Dividing by 3.2 undoes the multiplication by 3.2.

$$x=\frac{6y}{3.2\times 5}$$

Divide \frac{6y}{5} by 3.2 by multiplying \frac{6y}{5} by the reciprocal of 3.2.

$$x=\frac{3y}{8}$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{8x}{3}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$1.2y=3.2x$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$1.2y=\frac{16x}{5}$$

Divide both sides of the equation by 1.2, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{1.2y}{1.2}=\frac{16x}{1.2\times 5}$$

Dividing by 1.2 undoes the multiplication by 1.2.

$$y=\frac{16x}{1.2\times 5}$$

Divide \frac{16x}{5} by 1.2 by multiplying \frac{16x}{5} by the reciprocal of 1.2.

$$y=\frac{8x}{3}$$
