(37-y)/64=2/16

1 answer

To solve the equation (37-y)/64 = 2/16, we can cross-multiply:

(37-y)*16 = 2*64

Expanding both sides:

592 - 16y = 128

Next, we can isolate the variable by subtracting 592 from both sides:

-16y = 128 - 592

-16y = -464

Finally, divide both sides by -16 to find the value of y:

y = (-464)/(-16)

y = 29

Therefore, the solution to the equation is y = 29.
