Question 214923


{{{(3/2)y-y=4+(1/2)y}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{cross(2)((3/cross(2))y)-2(y)=2(4)+cross(2)((1/cross(2))y)}}} Multiply EVERY term by the LCD {{{2}}} to clear the fractions.



{{{3y-2y=8+y}}} Multiply and simplify.



{{{y=8+y}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{y-y=8}}} Subtract {{{y}}} from both sides.



{{{0y=8}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{0=8}}} Simplify.



Since this equation is <font size=4><b>NEVER</b></font> true for any y value, this means that there are no solutions.
