Solve 1/24-2/1=1/3y

$$\frac { 1 } { 2 } 4 - \frac { 2 } { 1 } = \frac { 1 } { 3 } y$$

Solve for y

$$y=0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply \frac{1}{2} and 4 to get \frac{4}{2}.

$$\frac{4}{2}-\frac{2}{1}=\frac{1}{3}y$$

Divide 4 by 2 to get 2.

$$2-\frac{2}{1}=\frac{1}{3}y$$

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$2-2=\frac{1}{3}y$$

Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.

$$0=\frac{1}{3}y$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$\frac{1}{3}y=0$$

Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since \frac{1}{3} is not equal to 0, y must be equal to 0.

$$y=0$$
