Question

$$5y/3-1/6=5/12$$

Solve for y

$y=\frac{7}{20}=0.35$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $12$, the least common multiple of $3,6,12$.

$$4\times 5y-2=5$$

Multiply $4$ and $5$ to get $20$.

$$20y-2=5$$

Add $2$ to both sides.

$$20y=5+2$$

Add $5$ and $2$ to get $7$.

$$20y=7$$

Divide both sides by $20$.

$$y=\frac{7}{20}$$
