Transcript text: Solve for $y$. \[ \frac{5 y}{4}+3=\frac{7 y}{6} \] Simplify your answer as much as possible. \[ y= \]

Solution

Step 1: Bring all terms involving y to one side and constants to the other

$\frac{a y}{b} - \frac{d y}{e} = -c \Rightarrow \frac{5}{4}y - \frac{7}{6}y = -3$

Step 2: Find a common denominator for the fractions involving y, combine them, and solve for y

$y = \frac{-c * b * e}{a_e - d_b} = \frac{-3 * 4 * 6}{5_6 - 7_4}$
