Question 237309: Write the equation for the following
a. the quotient of x+3 and 5y is the same as the product of x and Y.
b.the product of -6 and 7y is equal to 13
c. find the value of y in problem (b)

First problem:
(x+3) / 5y = xy
Second problem:
-6(7y) = 13
Third problem:
-6(7y) = 13
... you may multiply -6 and 7 first...
-42y = 13
... now divide by -42 on both sides of the eqn...
y = 13/-42
y = -0.31
(I rounded result from 0.3095)
