Question

How do you solve `(3y)/4 - y/3 = 10`?

Answer 1

Solution is `y=24`

Explanation:

To solve `(3y)/4−y/3=10`, multiply each term by LCM of denominators of all fractions. As these are 3 and 4, let us multiply by `12`. Equation then becomes

`(3y)*12/4−y*12/3=10*12` or

`9y-4y=120`

i.e. `5y=120` i.e. `y=120/5=24`
