Question

Plz help me!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:  $\bold{\dfrac{4\pm \sqrt{6}}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{3}{y-2}-2=\dfrac{1}{y-1}\\\\\\\text{Multiply by the LCD (y-2)(y-1) to clear the denominator:}\\\\\dfrac{3}{y-2}(y-2)(y-1)-2(y-2)(y-1)=\dfrac{1}{y-1}(y-2)(y-1)\\\\\\3(y-1)-2(y-2)(y-1)=1(y-2)\\\\3y-3-2(y^2-3y+2)=y-2\\\\3y-3-2y^2+6y-4=y-2\\\\-2y^2+9y-7=y-2\\\\0=2y^2-8y+5\quad \rightarrow \quad a=2,\ b=-8,\ c=5\\\\\\\text{Quadratic formula is: }x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-8)\pm \sqrt{(-8)^2-4(2)(5)}}{2(2)}\\\\\\.\ =\dfrac{8\pm \sqrt{64-40}}{2(2)}$

$.\ =\dfrac{8\pm \sqrt{24}}{2(2)}\\\\\\.\ =\dfrac{8\pm 2\sqrt{6}}{2(2)}\\\\\\.\ =\dfrac{4\pm \sqrt{6}}{2}$
