I'm new and not sure what all the symbols mean, but if it is ay divided by x, equals cz then:

- multiply both sides by x, which would make it cancel out on the left side, and the right would be czx. ( ay=czx)
-then divide BOTH sides by a, so you can get y alone, which solves for y!

so, y=czx/a I hope this helps!
