Question 66466
Okay i dont know what it is with fractions but this one has me stumped, thank you in advance for your help!

(1)      1+1/5y =2/15y+ 3/2


Multiply every term by 30y and that will get rid of all fractions:

1(30y)+1(30y)(1/5y)=(30y)(2/15y)+(30y)(3/2)  simplifying, we get:

30y+6=4+45y  Subtract 45y and 6 from both sides:
30y-45y+6-6=4-6+45y-45y  collecting like terms:

-15y=-2  divide both sides by -15


y=2/15 



ck

Substitute y=2/15 into (1):

1+1/(5(2/15))=2/(15(2/15))+3/2=

1+1/(2/3)=2/2+3/2

1+3/2=1+3/2


Hope this helps----ptaylor
