Transcript text: Solve:
\[
\frac{35}{y+4}+\frac{5}{y+2}=6
\]
$y=$ $\square$ If there is more than one solution, enter the solutions separated with commas. If there is no solution, enter DNE.
Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the equation \(\frac{35}{y+4}+\frac{5}{y+2}=6\), we need to find a common denominator and then solve the resulting equation for \(y\). This will involve algebraic manipulation and solving a quadratic equation.
Step 1: Set Up the Equation
We start with the equation:
\[
\frac{35}{y+4} + \frac{5}{y+2} = 6
\]
Step 2: Solve for \(y\)
By manipulating the equation, we find the solutions for \(y\):
\[
y = -\frac{7}{3}, \quad y = 3
\]
Final Answer
The solutions to the equation are:
\[
\boxed{y = -\frac{7}{3}, 3}
\]
