Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

18y² = G(2y²)

Step 2: Solve for G

Option 1: Factor

  1. Factor:                                                                                                               18y² = (2y²)(9y)

Option 2: Isolate

  1. Divide both sides by 2y² to isolate G:                                                             18y³ / 2y² = G
  2. Simplify:                                                                                                             G = 9y

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf G= 9y}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equation and asked to find the missing factor that makes the equality true.

[tex]18y^3=(G)(2y^2)[/tex]

Essentially, we need to solve for the variable G.

1. Factoring

One method we can use is factoring.

We could factor the expression 18y³ because we know one factor is 2y². Since this is one of the factors, the other must be 9y.

[tex]18y^3=(9y)(2y^2)[/tex]

If we compare this factored version of the expression with the original equation we see that 9y and G correspond, so they must be equal.

[tex]G=9y[/tex]

2. Solving

Another method we could use is solving.

We can solve the original equation for G by isolating the variable.

[tex]18y^3= (G)(2y^2)[/tex]

G is being multiplied by 2y³. The inverse of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides of the equation by 2y³.

[tex]\frac {18y^3}{2y^2}=\frac{(G)(2y^2)}{2y^2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac {18y^3}{2y^2}= G[/tex]

The coefficients are divided as usual and the exponents are subtracted.

[tex]9y= G[/tex]
