What is the solution to the equation? 10/y+11=25/−3y Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

10/y + 11 = 25/−3y

Multiply both sides by 3y:

30 + 33y = -25

Rearrange and simplify:

33y = -55

y = -5/3

Answer 2

Multiply by y, to get

10+11y=25/-3 simplify and solve for y, subtract 10 from both sides

11y=-25/3-10=-55/3 divide by 11

y = -5/3

check the answer, substitute -5/3 for y in the original equation.

10/(-5/3)+11=25/-3(-5/3)

-6 + 11 = 5 add 6 to both sides

11=5+6=11

11=11 It works. y=-5/3

y is slightly more than -2 =-6/3
