You can put this solution on YOUR website!
How to get started...
To add fractions, you need a common denominator.
You have a common denominator on the left hand side, y so you can add the numerators.
%2817%2By%29%2Fy+%2B+%2832%2By%29%2Fy+=+100
%2817%2By%2B32%2By%29%2Fy=100
Take it from there.
Next step, simplify and multiply both sides by y.

Your answer will look like,
y=13%2F22<--- Just an example, that's not the answer.
