what is the solution to the following proportion?

(4y-10)/(12) = (y)/(10)

1 answer

To solve the given proportion, we can cross-multiply:

(4y-10)(10) = (y)(12)

Expanding the left side:

40y - 100 = 12y

Combining like terms:

40y - 12y = 100

28y = 100

Dividing both sides by 28:

y = 100/28

Simplifying the fraction:

y = 25/7
