7y:36x=12-4

To solve the equation \( 7y : 36x = 12 - 4 \), we can first simplify the right-hand side: \[ 12 - 4 = 8 \] So the equation can be expressed as: \[ 7y : 36x = 8 \] This indicates a ratio. We can write it as: \[ \frac{7y}{36x} = 8 \] To eliminate the fraction, we can cross-multiply: \[ 7y = 8 \cdot 36x \] This simplifies to: \[ 7y = 288x \] Next, if we want to isolate \(y\), we can divide both sides by 7: \[ y = \frac{288}{7}x \] Now, we have expressed \(y\) in terms of \(x\).
