Step 1.1.1

Reduce the expression

\frac{y}{y}

$\frac{y}{y}$ by cancelling the common factors.

Tap for more steps...

Step 1.1.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{y}{y} - \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{4}$

Step 1.1.1.2

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{1}{1} - \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{4}$

Step 1.1.2

Rewrite the expression.

$1 - \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{4}$

Step 1.2

Step 1.2.1

Factor

$3$ out of

$3$ .

$1 - \frac{3 (1)}{6} = \frac{1}{4}$

Step 1.2.2

Cancel the common factors.

Step 1.2.2.1

Factor

$3$ out of

$6$ .

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

Step 1.2.2.2

Cancel the common factor.

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

Step 1.2.2.3

Rewrite the expression.

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

Step 1.3

Write

$1$ as a fraction with a common denominator.

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

Step 1.4

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

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

Step 1.5

Subtract

$1$ from

$2$ .

$\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}$

Step 2

Since

$\frac{1}{2} \neq \frac{1}{4}$ , there are no solutions.
