The solution of the given equation is $y = 鈭� \frac{4}{3}$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Write the given equation.

The given equation is 鈥� $\frac{1}{12} + \frac{3}{8} y = \frac{5}{12} + \frac{5}{8} y$ 鈥�.

Step 2. Solve the given equation.

Solving,

$\frac{1}{12} + \frac{3}{8} y = \frac{5}{12} + \frac{5}{8} y$ (Given equation)

$\frac{1}{12} + \frac{3}{8} y 鈭� \frac{3}{8} y = \frac{5}{12} + \frac{5}{8} y 鈭� \frac{3}{8} y$ (Subtract $\frac{3}{8} y$ from both sides)

$\frac{1}{12} = \frac{5}{12} + \frac{1}{4} y$ (Simplify)

$\frac{1}{12} 鈭� \frac{5}{12} = \frac{5}{12} + \frac{1}{4} y 鈭� \frac{5}{12}$ (Subtract $\frac{5}{12}$ from both sides)

$鈭� \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{4} y$ (Simplify)

$鈭� \frac{1}{3} 脳 4 = \frac{1}{4} y 脳 4$ (Multiply both sides by 4)

$鈭� \frac{4}{3} = y$ (Simplify)

$y = 鈭� \frac{4}{3}$ (Write the variable on the left-hand side)

So, $y = 鈭� \frac{4}{3}$ is the solution of the given equation.

Step 3. Check the obtained solution.

Put $y = 鈭� \frac{4}{3}$ in the given equation $\frac{1}{12} + \frac{3}{8} y = \frac{5}{12} + \frac{5}{8} y$ to get,

$\begin{array}{l} \frac{1}{12} + \frac{3}{8} (鈭� \frac{4}{3}) = \frac{5}{12} + \frac{5}{8} (鈭� \frac{4}{3}) \\ \frac{1}{12} 鈭� \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{12} 鈭� \frac{5}{6} \\ \frac{1 鈭� 6}{12} = \frac{5 鈭� 10}{12} \\ 鈭� \frac{5}{12} = 鈭� \frac{5}{12} \end{array}$

Since the value obtained on the left-hand side and right-hand side are equal, the obtained value is indeed a solution of the given equation.
