Answer

y=12y = 12

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Write the given equation.

    The equation provided is:

    y2+y3=10\frac{y}{2} + \frac{y}{3} = 10
  2. Find a common denominator for the fractions.

    The least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6. Rewrite each fraction with a denominator of 6:

    3y6+2y6=10\frac{3y}{6} + \frac{2y}{6} = 10
  3. Combine the fractions on the left side.

    3y+2y6=10\frac{3y + 2y}{6} = 10 5y6=10\frac{5y}{6} = 10
  4. Solve for yy.

    Multiply both sides by 6:

    5y=10×65y = 10 \times 6 5y=605y = 60
  5. Divide both sides by 5

    y=605y = \frac{60}{5} y=12y = 12

    The solution for yy is:
