I need help with this Algebra question?

Multiply each side of the given equation by 60 to get rid of all the fractions.
You'll wind up with an equation to which the only possible solution is y=0 .
The question is kind of lame, but that's what we have to put up with while we're taking math.

[y-\frac{y}{2}+\frac{y}{3}-\frac{y}{4}=\frac{y}{5}|\cdot60\ 60y-30y+20y-15y=12y\ 23y=0\ y=0

To solve an algebraic equation with fractions, you can eliminate the fractions by multiplying each term by a common denominator. This simplifies the equation and makes it easier to isolate the variable. For example, multiplying by 12 simplifies the equation 2 1 ​ x + 4 3 ​ = 3 1 ​ into a form that allows for straightforward solving.
