Question

$$\frac{y}{2}-\frac{y}{3}=y-10$$

Solve for y

$y=12$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $6$, the least common multiple of $2,3$.

$$3y-2y=6y-60$$

Combine $3y$ and $-2y$ to get $y$.

$$y=6y-60$$

Subtract $6y$ from both sides.

$$y-6y=-60$$

Combine $y$ and $-6y$ to get $-5y$.

$$-5y=-60$$

Divide both sides by $-5$.

$$y=\frac{-60}{-5}$$

Divide $-60$ by $-5$ to get $12$.

$$y=12$$
