You asked:

Solve \(X : 192=34 : y\) for the variables \(X\) and \(y\).

MathBot Answer:

$$\begin{aligned}X &= \frac{6528}{y}\\y &= \frac{6528}{X}\end{aligned}$$


Express both ratios as fractions. \[\frac{X}{192} = \frac{34}{y}\]

Cross-multiply and solve for the unknowns. $$\begin{aligned}\frac{X}{192} &= \frac{34}{y} \\ X y &= 6528 \\ X = \frac{6528}{y}&, \,y = \frac{6528}{X} \end{aligned}$$
