Question

solve the equation

1/y + 1/4 = 1/2​

Answer 1

Answer:

y=8/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/y+1/4=1/2

1/y=1/2-1/4

1/y= 2/8

y =8/2

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{y}+ \frac{1}{4} =\frac{1}{2} \\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{y} =\frac{1}{2} -\frac{1}{4} \\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{y}= \frac{2}{4} -\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{y}= \frac{1}{4} \\\Rightarrow y=1*4 (cross-multiplication) \\\Righarrow y=4$
