Question

Y/2+1/4=y/6
please help solve for y

Answer 1

`y = (-3)/(4)`

Explanation:

`(y)/(2) + (1)/(4) = (y)/(6)`

Lets take all the variable terms in L.H.S & all the constant terms in R.H.S.

(While taking a term from one side to another side , it's sign changes )

⇒
`(y)/(2) - (y)/(6) = -(1)/(4)`

Now in L.H.S. , lets solve the fractions and reduce its numerator and denominator .

⇒
`(3y - y)/(6) = -(1)/(4)`

⇒
`(2y)/(6) = -(1)/(4)`

⇒
`(y)/(3) = -(1)/(4)`

Lets multiplying 3 on both the sides .

⇒
`(y)/(3) * 3 = -(1)/(4) * 3`

⇒
`y = (-3)/(4)`
