Question

Can anyone please help me to solve this?
y/y+1-1/y=1

Answer 1

\[\frac{y}{y+1}-\frac{1}{y}=1 \]\[\frac{y}{y+1}-\frac{1}{y}-1=0\]Combine the fractions in the LHS.\[\frac{-2 y-1}{y (y+1)}=0 \]\[y=-\frac{1}{2} \]

Answer 2

how did you get 2y?

Answer 3

easiest way is to multiply each term by y(y+1) this will eliminate the fractions

then after cancelling common factors

y^2 - (y +1) = y(y+1)

simplifying

-2y - 1 = 0

-2y = 1

y = -1/2

Answer 4

Thanks, both of you
