5y/6+3y/4=19/12 find the value of y:
3y*(1/4)+5y*6^-1 = 19/12
3/4y+5y*6^-1 = 19/12
3/4y+5y*(1/6) = 19/12
3/4y+5/6y = 19/12
19/12y= 19/12
y = (19/12)/(19/12)
y = 1

Is the person who responded "for real?"

If this is: matrix%281%2C3%2C+5y%2F6+%2B+3y%2F4%2C+%22=%22%2C+19%2F12%29, then ALL you need to do is MULTIPLY ALL FRACTIONS by LCD, 12. 

The answer will be CRYSTAL clear after.
