Solve y/2 - y/5 = 1/4

Evaluate

\frac{y}{2} - \frac{y}{5} = \frac{1}{4}

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCD

(\frac{y}{2} - \frac{y}{5}) \times 20 = \frac{1}{4} \times 20

Simplify the equation

More Steps

6 y = \frac{1}{4} \times 20

Simplify the equation

More Steps

6 y = 5

Divide both sides

\frac{6 y}{6} = \frac{5}{6}

Solution

y = \frac{5}{6}

Alternative Form

y = 0.8 \dot{3}
