Understanding the Equation and Simplification

The video tutorial explains how to solve for x divided by y using a given equation. It starts by clearing the fraction through multiplication, simplifies the equation to find 7x equals y, and then substitutes to find that x divided by y equals 1/7.

What is the first step in solving the equation for x divided by y?

• Divide both sides by y

• Multiply both sides by x

• Add y to both sides

• Subtract x from both sides

After multiplying both sides by x, what does the equation simplify to?

• 10x equals y plus 3x

• x equals y minus 3x

• x equals y plus 3x

• 10x equals y minus 3x

What operation is performed after obtaining 10x equals y plus 3x?

• Divide both sides by 3

• Multiply both sides by 3

• Subtract 3x from both sides

• Add 3x to both sides

What is the value of y in terms of x after simplification?

• y equals 3x

• y equals 7x

• y equals x

• y equals 10x

What is the final result of x divided by y?

• 1/3

• 1/7

• 7

• 3
