To solve the equation, we first need to find a common denominator for the fractions:
1/6y + 5/12y = 8.4
To find the common denominator, we need to multiply the denominators together. The least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 12 is 12, so we can rewrite the equation with a common denominator of 12:
2/12y + 5/12y = 8.4
Now that we have a common denominator, we can combine the fractions:
(2 + 5)/12y = 8.4 7/12y = 8.4
To isolate the variable, we can multiply both sides by 12y to get rid of the denominator:
7 = 8.4 * 12y 7 = 100.8y
Now, we can solve for y by dividing both sides by 100.8:
y = 7/100.8 y = 0.06944
Therefore, the solution to the equation is y = 0.06944.
