Question

My bad for the autocorrect
What is the answer :
2/34 = 5/Y ( criss cross algebra)

Answer 1

The answer would be y=85.

You would first cross multiply 2•y which equals to 2y. Then you would cross multiply 34•5 which is 170. After that you should get 2y=170, you need to get the y(the variable) by itself, so you would divide both sides by 2.

(I hope this is what you’re asking for)

Answer 2

Answer:

85

Step-by-step explanation:

2 / 34 = 5 / Y

2 x Y = 34 x 5

2 x Y = 170

Y = 170 / 2

Y = 85
