Exercise 16 Page 206

Use the Division Property of Equality to isolate y on the right-hand side of the equation.

y=6

Practice makes perfect

To solve the equation, we have to isolate y on one side. Let's use the Division Property of Equality and divide both sides of the equation by 1.6. 9.6 &= 1.6y 9.6÷1.6 &= 1.6y÷1.6 &= yNow, let's perform the division to find the value of y.

9.6 ÷ 1.6=1.6y ÷ 1.6

a÷ b=a/b

9.6/1.6=1.6y/1.6

Calculate quotient

6=1.6y/1.6

MovePartNumRight

a* b/c=a/c* b

6= 1.6/1.6y

a/a=1

6=y

The value of y is 6. 9.6 &= 1.6y 9.6÷1.6 &= 1.6y÷1.6 6 &= y
