Question

Solve for y. 2/(y+3)= 3/(3y+9)

Answer 1

Answer:

y= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators:

2/y +3 = 3/3y + 9

(3y+9) (y+3) (2/y+3) = (3y +9) (3/3y+9)

Simplify:

6 + 1 8 = 3 + 9

Subtract  18 from both sides of the equation:

6y +18 =3y +9

6y+18 -18 =3y +9 -18

Simplify Again:

6y +3y-9

Subtract  3y from both sides of the equation:

6y =3y -9

6y-3y = 3y -9 -3y

Answer:

y= -3
