Question

Which of the following is the solution of the equation $\frac{7y+4}{y+2}=\frac{-4}{3}$ ?

• A. $y=-\frac{4}{5}$
• B. $y=\frac{4}{5}$
• C. $y=-\frac{5}{4}$
• D. $y=\frac{5}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $y=-\frac{4}{5}$

$\frac{7y+4}{y+2}=\frac{-4}{3}$
$21y+12=-4y-8$
$25y=-20$
$y=\frac{-20}{25}=\frac{-4}{5}$
