Question

the / means its a fraction..

Answer 1

i feel stupid, but im guessing their equivalent!

Answer 2

Im assuming you are solving for Y, which is stupid since each Absolute Value has 2 answers. Is that even possible to solve? What have you done? Thats either not possible or some crazy ridiculous problem seeing as how it just cant be done in any way I know how to do it.

Answer 3

if the vertical lines mean moduli Then try squaring both the sides

wait a min. is it just me or this equation is outrightly bogus. hey u wasted my whole 2 mins. Oh so silly of me to solve that. Don&#039;t laff

Answer 4

Do you mean |3/(5y-1)|=|1/(2y-4)| or |(3/5y)-1|=|(1/2y)-4|? I&#039;m assuming it&#039;s the first one:

3/(5y-1)=1/(2y-4) or 3/(5y-1)=-1/(2y-4)

3/(5y-1)=1/(2y-4)

=&gt; 3(2y-4)=5y-1

=&gt; 6y-12=5y-1

=&gt; y=11

3/(5y-1)=-1/(2y-4)

=&gt; 3(2y-4)=-(5y-1)

=&gt; 6y-12=-5y+1

=&gt; 11y=13

=&gt; y=13/11
