y-(y)/(2)+(y)/(3)-(y)/(4)=(y)/(5)|\cdot60\\ 60y-30y+20y-15y=12y\\ 23y=0\\ y=0

Multiply each side of the given equation by 60 to get rid of all the fractions.

You'll wind up with an equation to which the only possible solution is y=0 .

The question is kind of lame, but that's what we have to put up with
while we're taking math.
