Question 194427: Extraneous Solution
Question: 5/y-3 = y+7/2y -6 + 1 LCD is 2(y-3)?
2(y-3)* 5/y-3= y+7/2y-6*2(y-3 + 1 * 2(y-3)
I'm stuck. I don't think I have the correct LCD.
where did I go wrong? Thank You for your help. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Question: 5/(y-3) = (y+7)/(2y-6) + 1 LCM is 2(y-3)?
--------------
Multiply thru by the LCM to get:
5(2) = (y+7) + 2(y-3)
10 = 3y +1
y = 3
