SOLUTION: We are solving rational equations. We just need to find x. I have difficulty factoring. (10/2y+8)-(7y+8/y^2-16)=-(8/2y-8) I have this so far... (10-7y+8-8)/(-1(x+4)(x-4))

Question 872175: We are solving rational equations. We just need to find x. I have difficulty factoring.
(10/2y+8)-(7y+8/y^2-16)=-(8/2y-8)
I have this so far...
(10-7y+8-8)/(-1(x+4)(x-4))

%2810%2F%282y%2B8%29%29-%28%287y%2B8%29%2F%28y%5E2-16%29%29=-%288%2F%282y-8%29%29


LCM = 2(y+4)(y-4)
%2810%2A%28y-4%29%29-2%287y%2B8%29=-8%28y%2B4%29

10y-40-14y-16=-8y-32
simplify
4y=24
/4
y=6
