Question

What are the values of the variables "x" and "y" in the following equation : )
5x = 8y

Answer 1

x = 8y/5 and y = 5x/8 . . .. .

Answer 2

Answer:

We need to know at least the value of one of the variables...if it is not given in the question, we can assume different values for one of the variables (I use x).

Eg

If x=8

5×8=8y

y=5×8/8

y=5

And so on
