Use the common denominator, 2%28y-3%29=2y-6
5%2F%28y-3%29+=+1+%2B+%28y%2B7%29%2F%282y-6%29
.
.
10%2F%282y-6%29=%282y-6%29%2F%282y-6%29%2B%28y%2B7%29%2F%282y-6%29
.
.
%2810-%282y-6%29-%28y%2B7%29%29%2F%282y-6%29=0
.
.
%2810-2y%2B6-y-7%29%2F%282y-6%29=0
.
.
%28-3y%2B9%29%2F%282y-6%29=0
.
.
%28-3%28y-3%29%29%2F%282%28y-3%29%29=0
.
.
-3%2F2=0
Since the equation leads to an inconsistency, there is no solution.
