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


2%28%283%2Fcross%282%29%29y-y%29=2%284%2B%281%2Fcross%282%29%29y%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 2 to clear any fractions.


3y-2y=8%2By Distribute and multiply.


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.

3/2y-y=4+1/2y
3y/2-y-y/2=4
(3y-y)/2-y=4
2y/2-y=4
y-y=4
0=4 no solution for y.
