For this problem, to be able to solve for y, you can use combining like terms.
00:06
Since both of the denominators are already the same, all you have to do is subtract.
00:12
So i'm going to subtract 5y over 2y minus 1 on both sides.
00:20
On the left side, it will cancel out and equals 0.
00:23
While on the right side, you can subtract the numerators to be able to combine.
00:37
So this will equal negative 3 equals 12 minus 5y over 2y minus 1.
00:59
The next step will be to get y out of the denominator.
01:04
To do this, you can multiply both sides by 2y minus 1.
01:14
Since there is a 2y minus 1 in the numerator and the denominator, they will cancel out on the right side of the problem, and on the left side it will be multiplied by negative 3...
