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
what is the solution to the following proportion?
(4y-10)/(12) = (y)/(10)
