Question

Solve for y:
y-3/y+7 - 5/y = 0
(fractions)

Answer 1

\[\frac{y-3}{y+7}-\frac{5}{y}=0\] like that?

Answer 2

yes!!

Answer 3

SATELLITE TO THE RESCUEE!

Answer 4

wish I could write them like that!

Answer 5

WIRELESS rescue!

Answer 6

get
\[\frac{y-3}{y+7}=\frac{5}{y}\] so
\[y(y-3)=5(y+7)\]
\[y^2-3y=5y+35\]
\[y^2-8y-35=0\]

Answer 7

solve for y, right.

Answer 8

yup

Answer 9

yes, solve for y

Answer 10

that isnt solve for y! ^ :(

Answer 11

?

Answer 12

y=??

Answer 13

its like
y = 11.14
y = -3.14

Answer 14

i get
\[y^2-8y=35\] so
\[(y-4)^2=35+16=51\]
\[y-4=\pm\sqrt{51}\] amd
\[y=4\pm\sqrt{51}\]

Answer 15

now let me check the algebra

Answer 16

^.^

Answer 17

looks good to me!

Answer 18

Awesome! Except, lol, I'm not sure I understand the symbols in the answer... y=4/51 ???
