Find y if (y^2 - 9y + 8)/(y-1} + (3y^2 +16y-12)/(3y -2) = -3.
Assume this is the problem
+ = -3
Both numerators can be factored
+ = -3
Notice now we can cancel both denominators (greatly simplifies things!)
(y-8) + (y+6) = -3
2y - 2 = -3
2y = -3 + 2
2y = -1
y =
:
Check our solution in the original equation, replacing y with -1/2
