Solve y=x291/261

$$y = x \frac { 291 } { 261 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{87y}{97}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{291}{261} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$y=x\times \frac{97}{87}$$

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

$$x\times \frac{97}{87}=y$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$\frac{97}{87}x=y$$

Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{97}{87}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{\frac{97}{87}x}{\frac{97}{87}}=\frac{y}{\frac{97}{87}}$$

Dividing by \frac{97}{87} undoes the multiplication by \frac{97}{87}.

$$x=\frac{y}{\frac{97}{87}}$$

Divide y by \frac{97}{87} by multiplying y by the reciprocal of \frac{97}{87}.

$$x=\frac{87y}{97}$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{97x}{87}$$

Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction \frac{291}{261} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$y=x\times \frac{97}{87}$$
