Question

Y+4/12 – y–1/12 = y/2

Answer 1

The value of "y" is 3

Solution:

Given that,

`y+(4)/(12)-y-(1)/(12)=(y)/(2)`

We have to solve for "y"

Let us simplify the given expression and solve for"y"

`y+(4)/(12)-y-(1)/(12)=(y)/(2)`

On cross multiplication in L.H.S we get,

`(12 y+4-12 y-1)/(12)=(y)/(2)`

Cancelling denominator 12 from both sides, we get

12y + 4 -12y - 1 = y

Again cancelling +12y and -12y we get

4 - 1 = y

y = 3

Thus the value of "y" is 3
