\frac{3}{y} = \frac{5}{8}

y = \frac{24}{5}

Solution steps

\frac{3}{y} = \frac{5}{8}

Divide both sides by

5

y = \frac{24}{5}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

y = 0

Combine undefined points with solutions:

y = \frac{24}{5}

\frac{1}{x} = \frac{16}{9 x} + 7

x - \frac{1}{x} = 5

5 + A = \frac{A ^{3} + 1}{A ^{2} + 1}

r, S = \frac{a _{1}}{1 - r}

\frac{2}{x} + 1 = \frac{4}{x + 2}
