Text Solution
What is known?
Equation
What is unknown?
Value of the variable
Reasoning:
Multiple both sides by the L.C.M of the denominators to get rid of fractional number. Now transpose variables to one side and constant to another side.
Steps:
On multiplying both sides by \(3(y + 2)\),we obtain
\[\begin{align}3\left( {7{\rm{ }}y + 4} \right) &= - 4\left( {y + 2} \right)\\21y + 12 &= - 4y - 8\\21y + 4y &= - 8 - 12\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,25y &= - 20\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,y &= - \frac{4}{5}\end{align}\]
