Question 158100: Solve the equation 1/4y-1=1/9y
Simplify and solve the equation (x/4x-16)-8=1/x-4
Solve for k -5/7k+-5/6=7-(-8/5k)
Solutions;
1.) given: 1/4y-1=1/9y
Sol: 1/4y-1/9y=1
9-4=36y
y=5/36
Ans: y=5/36
2.) Given: (x/4x-16)-8=1/x-4
Sol: 1/4-16-8=1/x-4
1/4-24+4=1/x
1/4-20=1/x
x/4-20x=1
x-5x=4
x=-1
Ans: x=-1
3.) Given: k-5/7k+-5/6=7-(-8/5k)
Sol: k-5/7k-5/6=7+8/5k
k-5/7k-8/5k=5/6+7
6(35k-25k-56k)=35(5+42)
