Question 595136: (2/3)+(5/(y-4))=(y+6)/(3y-12). Solve the equation and check your solution. If there is no solution, say so. I saw on another post that the answer is(-1/3) and 9. How can this be? I tried the quadratic equation, but that just made me even more confused. I tried factoring the denominators, but I don't know what to do next. Please help. If I could figure out what the first step should be, I could do it. Thanks so much!

The LCD of the equation is 3(y-4)
Multiply the equation by 3(y-4)
we get



y= -1
CHECK
Cheers!
