Solve 8*9=xy

$$8 \times 9 = x y$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{72}{y}$$

$$y\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 8 and 9 to get 72.

$$72=xy$$

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

$$xy=72$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$yx=72$$

Divide both sides by y.

$$\frac{yx}{y}=\frac{72}{y}$$

Dividing by y undoes the multiplication by y.

$$x=\frac{72}{y}$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{72}{x}$$

$$x\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 8 and 9 to get 72.

$$72=xy$$

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

$$xy=72$$

Divide both sides by x.

$$\frac{xy}{x}=\frac{72}{x}$$

Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.

$$y=\frac{72}{x}$$
