3y-8 y
\n" ); document.write( "---- = ----
\n" ); document.write( "12 5 cross multiply.
\n" ); document.write( "5(3y-8)=12y
\n" ); document.write( "15y-40=12y
\n" ); document.write( "15y-12y=40
\n" ); document.write( "3y=40
\n" ); document.write( "y=40/3 ans.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "(3*40/3-8)/12=(40/3)/5
\n" ); document.write( "(40-8)/12=40/3*1/5
\n" ); document.write( "32/12=40/15
\n" ); document.write( "32*15=12*40
\n" ); document.write( "480=480 \n" ); document.write( "
