Question

What value of y satisfies the equation 5y/6+5/6=1/6

Answer 1

$\frac{5y}{6} + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{1}{6}$
Multiply each term by the LCD 6:
5y + 5 = 1
Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:
5y + 5 - 5 = 1 - 5
5y = -4
Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
$\frac{5y}{5} = \frac{-4}{5}$
Answer: $y= \frac{-4}{5}$
