Answer:

y = 1/80

Explanation:


\sf\frac {5}{8y} + 7 = (3)/(4y)- 3

Substract 7 from both sides


\sf\frac {5}{8y} + 7 - 7 = (3)/(4y)- 3 - 7

Calculate


\sf\frac {5}{8y} = (3)/(4y)-10

Substract 3/4y from both sides


\sf\frac {5}{8y} - (3)/(4y) = (3)/(4y) - (3)/(4y) -10

Calculate


\sf\frac {5}{8y} -(3)/(4y)= -10

L.C.M = 32y²


\sf \frac{−4y}{ {32y}^(2) } = -10

-4y/32y² Divide further


\sf ( - 4)/( 32y ) = -10

Divide further


\sf ( - 1)/( 8y ) = -10

Cross - multiply


\sf \: 8y * - 10 = - 1

Multiply


\sf \: - 80y = - 1

Divide both sides by -80y


\sf \: ( - 80y)/( - 80) = - ( - 1)/( - 80)

Calculate


\sf \: y = (1)/(80)
