2/(y + 3) + 3/(y - 4) = 5/(y + 6)
To solve first find the LCD. The LCD would be the product of the binomial denominators (y + 3) (y - 4) ( y + 6)
Once you multiply through by the LCD, the fractions will clear.
2(y-4)(y+6) + 3(y+3)(y + 6) = 5(y + 3)(y - 4)
2(y^2 +2y -24 +3(y^2 + 9y + 18) = 5(y^2 -y - 12)
2y^2 +4y -48 +3y^2 + 27y + 54 = 5y^2 -5y - 60
31y + 6 = -5y - 60
36y = -66
y = -11/6
