Question

2/5y - 5/8 y = 5/12 linear​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{2}{5y} - \frac{5}{8y} = \frac{5}{12} \\ \\ \frac{16y - 25y}{40 {y}^{2} } = \frac{5}{12} \\ \\ 12( - 9y) = 40 {y}^{2} (5) \\ \\ - 108y = 200 {y}^{2} \\ \\ - 108y - 200 {y}^{2} = 0 \\ \\ y(108 + 200y) = 0 \\ \\ 108 + 200y = 0 \: \: \: \: and \: \: y = 0\\ \\ 200y = - 108 \\ \\ y = \frac{ - 108}{200} \\ \\ y = \frac{54}{100} \\ \\ y = \frac{27}{50}$
