Question 95558: Hello:
Solve the following equations algebraically:
2/(y+3)+3/(y-4)=5/(y+6)
I really don't know even where to start on this one.
I was thinking first I should move over the right side and than try to find a common denominator.
Any help will be gretaly appreciated. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2/(y+3)+3/(y-4)=5/(y+6)
----------------------
Whenever you have an equation with denominators its
usually a good idea to multiply thru by the least
common multiple.
Your Problem:
lcm = (y+3)(y-4)(y+6)
----------
Multiply thru by the lcm to get:
2(y-4)(y+6) + 3(y+3)(y+6) = 5(y+3)(y-4)
This is a mess; I'll leave the simplifying and
solving to you.
