Answer:

y = 29/4

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

3/(y - 5) = 15/(y + 4)

To find the value of y

we have,

3/(y - 5) = 15/(y + 4)

3(y + 4) = 15(y - 5)

(y + 4) = 5(y - 5) [dividing both sides by 3]

y + 4 = 5y - 25

5y - 25 = y + 4

5y - y = 4 + 25

4y = 29

y = 29/4

Therefore the value of y = 29/4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the LCM of 3, 6, and 8, in this case 24. Then, make the denominator of each fraction 24: 16/24, 6/24, 8/24. Then, simply sort the fractions from least to greatest by their numerators: 6/24, 8/24, 16/24
