Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\texttt{\fcolorbox{Red}{aqua}{Hello Friend}}}$

$\frac{ - 2}{5} y- \frac{5}{8} y = \frac{5}{12} \\ \frac{ - 16y - 25y}{40} = \frac{5}{12} \\ \frac{ - 41y}{40} = \frac{5}{12} \\ y = - \frac{5 \times 40}{12 \times 41} \\ y = - \frac{200}{492}$
Now check
$\frac{ - 2}{5} \times ( - \frac{200}{492} ) - \frac{5}{8} \times ( - \frac{200}{492} ) \\ = \frac{80 + 125}{492} \\ = \frac{205}{492} \\ = \frac{5}{12} \\ = rhs \: henced \: checked$
Hope it helps you
