Question 544998
{{{(y-3)/(3y+4)=1/8}}} Start with the given equation



{{{8(y-3)=1(3y+4)}}} Cross multiply



{{{8y-24=3y+4}}} Distribute.



{{{8y=3y+4+24}}} Add {{{24}}} to both sides.



{{{8y-3y=4+24}}} Subtract {{{3y}}} from both sides.



{{{5y=4+24}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{5y=28}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{y=(28)/(5)}}} Divide both sides by {{{5}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{y=28/5}}}
