Question

$$\frac{ y }{ 9 } - \frac{ y }{ 12 } = \frac{ 1 }{ 108 }$$

Solve for y

$y=\frac{1}{3}\approx 0.333333333$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $108$, the least common multiple of $9,12,108$.

$$12y-9y=1$$

Combine $12y$ and $-9y$ to get $3y$.

$$3y=1$$

Divide both sides by $3$.

$$y=\frac{1}{3}$$
