For what value of the variable is each of the following fractions equal to zero

Question

2y+3/10

2y+310

Answer 1

Hello again Kiranpreet. In this problem, like the last I answered, you also want the numerator to equal zero. If the numerator equal zero, the whole fraction will equal zero, because zero divided by any number will equal zero. So you need to set the numerator equal to zero and solve for y, like this:

 

2y+3=0

2y=-3

y=-3/2
