3 answers

To solve the equation \( \frac{x}{6} = \frac{10}{25} \), you can first simplify the fraction on the right side:

\[ \frac{10}{25} = \frac{2}{5} \]

Now, the equation becomes:

\[ \frac{x}{6} = \frac{2}{5} \]

Next, to solve for \( x \), you can cross-multiply:

\[ x \cdot 5 = 2 \cdot 6 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 5x = 12 \]

Now, divide both sides by 5 to isolate \( x \):

\[ x = \frac{12}{5} \]

So, the value of \( x \) is:

\[ x = 2.4 \]

5/y=-12/60
Y=

To solve the equation

\[ \frac{5}{y} = -\frac{12}{60}, \]

first simplify the fraction on the right side:

\[ -\frac{12}{60} = -\frac{1}{5}. \]

Therefore, the equation becomes:

\[ \frac{5}{y} = -\frac{1}{5}. \]

Now, you can cross-multiply:

\[ 5 \cdot 5 = -1 \cdot y. \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 25 = -y. \]

Now, multiply both sides by -1 to find \( y \):

\[ y = -25. \]

So, the value of \( y \) is

\[ y = -25. \]
