Answer to Problem 4AGP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The proportion,
Concept Used:
- To get rid of a number in addition from one side, subtract the same number from both sides of equal sign.
- To get rid of a number in subtraction from one side, add the same number both sides of equal sign.
- To get rid of a number in multiplication from one side, divide the same number from both sides of equal sign.
- To get rid of a number in division from one side, multiply the same number both sides of equal sign.
- Two numbers with similar sign always get added and the resulting number will carry the similar sign.
- Two numbers with opposite signs always get subtracted and the resulting number will carry the sign of larger number.
- The product/quotient of two similar sign numbers is always positive.
- The product/quotient of two numbers with opposite signs is always negative.
Rules of Addition/ Subtraction:
Rules of Multiplication/ Division:
Calculation:
In order to solve the given equation
Here to isolate y on both side, first multiply both sides by 4 and then multiply both sides by 9 and then subtract both sides by 27 and then simplify further divide both sides by 9 and multiply both sides by negative sign as shown below,
Thus, the solution of the proportion is
