Question

Solve the equation for the given variable. If your answer is a fraction, write it in reduced, fractional form. Do NOT convert the answer to a decimal.

y/5+y/6=9/10

Answer: y =   

Answer 1

So what you would do first is find the LCM of the equation, which in this case will be 30. Therefore, multiply everything by 30 to get 6y+5y=27. On the left, combine link terms making it, 11y=27. And finally, solve for y. You divide 11 on both sides, giving you the result, y=27/11. Hope this helps.
