(3)/(5)*y=6
Multiply (3)/(5) by y to get (3y)/(5).
(3y)/(5)=6
Multiply each term in the equation by 5.
(3y)/(5)*5=6*5
Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common terms.
3y=6*5
Multiply 6 by 5 to get 30.
3y=30
Divide each term in the equation by 3.
(3y)/(3)=(30)/(3)
Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common terms.
y=(30)/(3)
Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
Answer: y=10
