Solve the following equation for the variable x
3.7xy = 7.4fp
:
How about if we divide both side by 3.7y?
%28%283.7xy%29%29%2F%28%283.7y%29%29 = %28%287.4fp%29%29%2F%28%283.7y%29%29
:
That would leave us with:
x = %28%287.4fp%29%29%2F%28%283.7y%29%29
:
However, 3.7 will cancel into 7.4, so we have
x = %28%282fp%29%29%2Fy
