The value of the variable y is y=6

Explanation:

The given equation is \frac{6}{y-4}-\frac{y}{y+2}=\left(\frac{6}{y-4}\right)\left(\frac{y}{y+2}\right)

Taking LCM on LHS of the equation, we get,

\frac{6(y+2)-y(y-4)}{(y-4)(y+2)}=\left(\frac{6}{y-4}\right)\left(\frac{y}{y+2}\right)

Simplifying the term on RHS of the equation, we get,

\frac{6(y+2)-y(y-4)}{(y-4)(y+2)}=\frac{6 y}{(y-4)(y+2)}

Since, both the sides of the equation have the same denominator, we can cancel them.

Thus, we have,

6(y+2)-y(y-4)=6 y

Multiplying the terms within the bracket, we get,

6y+12-y^2-4y=6 y

Adding the like terms, we have,

2y+12-y^2=6 y

Subtracting both sides by 6 y, we have,

-4y+12-y^2=0

Factoring the equation, we get,

(y+2)(y-6)=0

y=-2, y=6

The values of the variable y are y=-2, y=6

At the point y=-2, the equation \frac{6}{y-4}-\frac{y}{y+2}=\left(\frac{6}{y-4}\right)\left(\frac{y}{y+2}\right) becomes undefined.

Thus, the value of the variable y is y=6
