1/4 - 2/3y = 3/4y - 1/3y?
Answers:
Begin by multiplying the whole equation by 12 to get whole numbers throughout the equation.
3 - 8y = 9 - 4y
Easier, right?
Add 8y to respectively side, subtract 9 from each side.
-6 = 4y
Divide both sides by 4.
y = -1.5
(The reason you multiplied by 12 was because 3 [as contained by 2/3 and 1/3] and 4 [as in 1/4 and 3/4] are common denominators.)
