To determine the number of feet in yards, we start with the equation you've provided:
\[ 2y = 6x \]
In this equation:
- \(y\) represents yards
- \(x\) represents feet
From the problem, we know that there are 6 feet in 2 yards. To find the number of feet per yard, we can simplify the given relation.
First, we can express 1 yard in terms of feet:
If 2 yards equal 6 feet, then to find 1 yard, we divide both sides of the equation \(2y = 6x\) by 2:
\[ y = 3x \]
This means:
1 yard = 3 feet
So, in conclusion, there are 3 feet in 1 yard.
