Question

$$\frac{5y}{6}-\frac{3y}{5}=50$$

Solve for y

$y = \frac{1500}{7} = 214\frac{2}{7} \approx 214.285714286$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $30$, the least common multiple of $6,5$.

$$5\times 5y-6\times 3y=1500$$

Multiply $5$ and $5$ to get $25$.

$$25y-6\times 3y=1500$$

Multiply $-6$ and $3$ to get $-18$.

$$25y-18y=1500$$

Combine $25y$ and $-18y$ to get $7y$.

$$7y=1500$$

Divide both sides by $7$.

$$y=\frac{1500}{7}$$
