Question

Solve the equation 12=36/y using substitution.(1 point)
y=

Answer 1

12 = 36/[_]

Answer 2

To solve the equation 12 = 36/y using substitution, we can substitute y with its reciprocal in the equation:

12 = 36/y

Let's substitute y with 1/y:

12 = 36/(1/y)

Simplifying the right side:

12 = 36 * y

Now, we can solve for y. Dividing both sides of the equation by 36:

12/36 = y

Simplifying the left side by reducing the fraction:

1/3 = y

Therefore, the solution to the equation is y = 1/3.

Answer 3

To solve the equation 12 = 36/y using substitution, let's substitute the variable y with a letter or symbol.

Let's use "x" as the substitution variable.

So, we have 12 = 36/x.

To solve for x, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by x:

12x = 36.

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by 12 to isolate the variable x:

x = 36/12.

Simplifying the right side by dividing:

x = 3.

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 3.
