Question

14/(3y+5) = 3/y
can someone please explain the steps for me?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators

14÷(3y+5)=3÷y

`\frac {14} {3y+5}= \frac {3}{y}`

`(3y+5)(y( \frac {14}{3y+5})=` (3y+5)·y·
`\frac {3} {y}`

Simplify

Combine multiplied terms into a single fraction

Re-order terms so constants are on the left

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

Divide by 1

Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator

Re-order terms so constants are on the left

Distribute:

14y=9y+15

Subtract 9
