%283%2F2%29y-y=4%2B%281%2F2%29y Start with the given equation.


Multiply EVERY term by the LCD 2 to clear the fractions.


3y-2y=8%2By Multiply and simplify.


y=8%2By Combine like terms on the left side.


y-y=8 Subtract y from both sides.


0y=8 Combine like terms on the left side.


0=8 Simplify.


Since this equation is NEVER true for any y value, this means that there are no solutions.
