Step for solving
1/y+1+2/y+2 = 4/y+4
Add 1 and 2 to get 3
3 + y + y x 2 = 4 + y x 4
combine y and y x 2 to get 3y
3 + 3y = 4 + y x 4
subtract y x 4 from both sides
3 + 3y - y x 4 = 4
combine 3y and -y x 4 to get -y
3 - y = 4
Subtract 3 from both sides
-y = 4 - 3
subtract 3 from 4 to get 1
- y = 1
multiply both sides by -1
y = -1
