Question

What value of y satisfies the equation 5y/6+5/6=1/6

Answer 1

`(5y)/(6) + (5)/(6) = (1)/(6)`
Multiply each term by the LCD 6:
5y + 5 = 1
Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:
5y + 5 - 5 = 1 - 5
5y = -4
Divide both sides of the equation by 5:

`(5y)/(5) = (-4)/(5)`
Answer:
`y= (-4)/(5)`
