\frac{2}{y} = \frac{y}{5}

y = 10, y = - 10

Decimal Notation

y = 3.16227 \dots, y = - 3.16227 \dots

Solution steps

\frac{2}{y} = \frac{y}{5}

Cross multiply

10 = y^{2}

Solve

10 = y^{2} : y = 10, y = - 10

y = 10, y = - 10

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

y = 0

Combine undefined points with solutions:

y = 10, y = - 10

\frac{9}{x} = - 6

\frac{x}{x + 6} = \frac{3}{x + 10}

\frac{m - 1}{2 m + 1} = 0

0 = \frac{- 2}{x - 4} + 3

\frac{x - 9}{2} + 2 = \frac{x + 3}{x}
