Question 981690
this topic is Solving Rational Equations and our teacher wanted us to provide a solution for 6/y + 19/5 = y
and i got confused. pls help
<pre>{{{6/y + 19/5 = y}}}, with {{{y <> 0}}}
{{{30 + 19y = 5y^2}}} ------- Multiplying by LCD, 5y
{{{5y^2 - 19y - 30 = 0}}}
(5y + 6)(y - 5) = 0
5y + 6 = 0          OR          y - 5 = 0
{{{y = (- 6/5)}}}           OR          y = 5
{{{highlight_green(system(y = - 1.2or,y = 5))}}}
