(5/y-3)-{30/(y+3)(y-3)}=1 {By Algebraic identity (a^2-b^2)=(a+a)(a-b)}
(5y+15-30)/{(y+3)(y-3)}=1
(5y-15)/{(y+3)(y-3)}=1
{{5(y-3)}/{(y+3)(y-3)}}=1
(5)/(y+3)=1 (By cancelling out y-3 in numerator and denominator)
5=y+3
5-3=y
2=y
y=2

solve this equation: 5/(y-3) - 30/(y^2-9)=1
**
5/(y-3)-30/(y^2-9)=1
5/(y-3)-30/(y+3)(y-3)=1
LCD:(y+3)(y-3)
5(y+3)-30=(y+3)(y-3)
5y+15-30=y^2-9
y^2-5y+6=0
(y-2)(y-3)=0
y=2
or
y=3 (reject, (y-3)≠0

factor denominators

Combine fractions, get common denominator by multiplying by


Distribute and add like terms in numerator

Factor numerator

Cancel

Multiply by (y+3) on both sides

Subtract 3 on both sides
