Solve x:y=25

$$x : y = 25$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{x}{25}$$

$$x\neq 0$$

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.

$$x=25y$$

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

$$25y=x$$

Divide both sides by 25.

$$\frac{25y}{25}=\frac{x}{25}$$

Dividing by 25 undoes the multiplication by 25.

$$y=\frac{x}{25}$$

Variable y cannot be equal to 0.

$$y=\frac{x}{25}\text{, }y\neq 0$$

Solve for x

$$x=25y$$

$$y\neq 0$$

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by y.

$$x=25y$$
