| ( | 6 | ÷ | 17 | ) | y | ÷ | ( | y | − | 14 | ) | = | ( | 4 | ÷ | 9 | ) | y |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | y | − | 14 | ) |
| ( | 6 | ÷ | 17 | ) | y | = | ( | 4 | ÷ | 9 | ) | y | ( | y | − | 14 | ) |
| 6 | ÷ | 17 | × | y | = | ( | 4 | ÷ | 9 | ) | y | ( | y | − | 14 | ) |
| 6 | ÷ | 17 | × | y | = | 4 | ÷ | 9 | × | y | ( | y | − | 14 | ) |
6 17 | y | = | 4 9 | y | ( | y | − | 14 | ) |
6 17 | y | = | 4 9 | y | y | − | 4 9 | y | × | 14 |
6 17 | y | = | 4 9 | y | y | − | 56 9 | y |
