Solve each of the following equations and verify your solution:

Question 1: 9 (1/4) = y – 1 (1/3)

Solution: 

(37 / 4) = y – (4/3)

(37 / 4) + (4 / 3) = y

Calculate LCM of 4 and 3 which is 12.

(((37 * 3) * (4 * 4)) / 12) = y

(111 + 16) / 12 = y

127 / 12 = y

Verification:

Putting y = 127 / 12

RHS = y – (4 / 3)

= 127 / 12 – 4 / 3

Calculate LCM of 12 and 3 which is 12

= (127 – (4 * 4)) / 12

= (127 – 16) / 12

= 9 (1/4)

LHS = RHS

Hence, verified.

Question 2: (5x / 3) + (2 / 5) = 1
