Solve for x x/a=y/b

$\frac{x}{a} = \frac{y}{b}$

Step 1

Multiply both sides by $a$ .

$\frac{x}{a} a = \frac{y}{b} a$

Step 2

Simplify.

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $a$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{x}{a} a = \frac{y}{b} a$

Rewrite the expression.

$x = \frac{y}{b} a$

$x = \frac{y}{b} a$

$x = \frac{y}{b} a$

Simplify the right side.

Combine $\frac{y}{b}$ and $a$ .

$x = \frac{y a}{b}$

$x = \frac{y a}{b}$

$x = \frac{y a}{b}$
