Solve 1/3y-2=1/8y

Evaluate

\frac{1}{3} y - 2 = \frac{1}{8} y

Move the variable to the left side

\frac{1}{3} y - 2 - \frac{1}{8} y = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

\frac{5}{24} y - 2 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

\frac{5}{24} y = 0 + 2

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

\frac{5}{24} y = 2

Multiply by the reciprocal

\frac{5}{24} y \times \frac{24}{5} = 2 \times \frac{24}{5}

Multiply

y = 2 \times \frac{24}{5}

Solution
