If a doesn't equals b
Find a, b, and y

Answer 1

$Domain:\ a\neq0\ \wedge\ b\neq0\\\\\dfrac{y}{a}-b=\dfrac{y}{b}-a\qquad\text{multiply both sides by ab}\\\\by-ab^2=ay-a^2b\qquad\text{add}\ ab^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\by=ay+ab^2-a^2b\qquad\text{subtract}\ ay\ \text{from both sides}\\\\by-ay=ab^2-a^2b\\\\(b-a)y=ab(b-a)\qquad\text{divide both sides by}\ (a-b)\neq0\\\\y=ab\\\\Answer:\ a\in\mathbb{R}-\{0\},\ b\in\mathbb{R}-\{0\},\ a\neq b,\ y=ab\\\\Example:\\a=2,\ b=3\to y=(2)(3)=6\\\\substitute\ to\ the\ equation:\\\\L_s=\dfrac{6}{2}-3=3-3=0\\R_s=\dfrac{6}{3}-2=2-2=0\\\\L_s=R_s$
