Question

2/5 y-5/8 y=5/12 solve the equation and check answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

y = (-50/27)

Step-by-step explanation:

(2/5)y - (5/8)y = 5/12

taking LCM on LHS

we get

=> y ( 2×8 - 5×5) ÷ (5×8) = 5/12

=> y( 16-25)/(40) = 5/12

=> y (-9) = 5×40/12

=> -9y = 50/3

=> y = -(50)÷ (3×9)

=> y = -(50/27)
