Question

Solve

$15(y-4)-2(y-9)+5(y+6)=0$

Answer 1

On multiplying the terms we get

$15y-60-2y+18+5y+30=0$

Rearrange the like terms

$15y-2y+5y=60-18-30$

$$\begin{gathered} 18y=12 \\ y=\frac{12}{18} \\ y=\frac{2}{3} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the solution of the given equation is $y=\frac{2}{3}.$
