How do i solve this Algebra problem?
24y=2y(4)(L)
l= length
Update:okay well the whole question is actually 24pie=2pie(4)(l) but my teacher likes to keep it as the pie symbol so when solving this just keep the pie symbol there
24y=2y(4)(L)
l= length

24y=2y*4L
24=2*4L
24/8=L
L=3
you cant find
The value of y. Hope this was helpful..
simplifying the above equation you get
24y = 8*y*L
3y = y*L
3y - y*L = 0
y(3 - L) = 0
which gives you the solution as
y = 0 and L = 3
Dear Nicole,
24`=2`(4)(L)
Since L is on the right-hand side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left-hand side of the equation.
2`(4)(L)=24`
Divide each term in the equation by 2`(4).
(2`(4)(L))/(2`(4))=(24`)/(2`(4))
Multiply 2` by 4 in the numerator.
((2`*4)(L))/(2`(4))=(24`)/(2`(4))
Multiply 2` by 4 to get 8`.
((8`)(L))/(2`(4))=(24`)/(2`(4))
Multiply 2` by 4 to get 8`.
((8`)(L))/(2`*4)=(24`)/(2`(4))
Multiply 2` by 4 to get 8`.
((8`)(L))/(8`)=(24`)/(2`(4))
Remove the parentheses from the numerator.
(8`(L))/(8`)=(24`)/(2`(4))
Multiply 8` by L in the numerator.
(8`*L)/(8`)=(24`)/(2`(4))
Multiply 8` by L to get 8`L.
(8`L)/(8`)=(24`)/(2`(4))
Cancel the common factor of 8` the expression (8`L)/(8`).
(<X>8<x>`L)/(<X>8<x>`)=(24`)/(2`(4))
Remove the common factors that were cancelled out.
L=(24`)/(2`(4))
Multiply 2` by 4 to get 8`.
L=(24`)/(2`*4)
Multiply 2` by 4 to get 8`.
L=(24`)/(8`)
Cancel the common factor of 8` the expression (24`)/(8`).
L=(^(3)<X>24<x>`)/(<X>8<x>`)
Remove the common factors that were cancelled out.
L=3
What are you trying to do simplify or solve the question?
*Simplified version*
24y=2y(4)(L)
24y/2y=4L
12y=4L
-Therefore, the simplified way is 12y=4L
*Solving question*
24y=2y(4)(L)
24(3.14)=2(3.14)(4)(L)
75.36=6.28+4L
75.36-6.28=4L
69.08=4L
69.08/4=4L/4
L=17.27
*NOTE*: I solved ''L'' because that was the unknown and ''y'' was already give, which was pi (3.14).
solve for what? y?
24y = 8y*L
3y = L and y =L/3
are the best you can do. have to have at least as many equations as variables in order to "solve"
What are you solving for, y or L?
