Okay i dont know what it is with fractions but this one has me stumped, thank you in advance for your help!\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(1) 1+1/5y =2/15y+ 3/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply every term by 30y and that will get rid of all fractions:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1(30y)+1(30y)(1/5y)=(30y)(2/15y)+(30y)(3/2) simplifying, we get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "30y+6=4+45y Subtract 45y and 6 from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "30y-45y+6-6=4-6+45y-45y collecting like terms:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-15y=-2 divide both sides by -15\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y=2/15 \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ck\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substitute y=2/15 into (1):\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1+1/(5(2/15))=2/(15(2/15))+3/2=\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1+1/(2/3)=2/2+3/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1+3/2=1+3/2\r
