| 1 | ÷ | 16 | × | y | + | 1 | ÷ | 24 | × | ( | y | − | 6 | ) | = | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 16 | y | + | 1 24 | ( | y | − | 6 | ) |
1 16 | y | + | 1 24 | ( | y | − | 6 | ) | = | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 16 | y | + | 1 24 | y | − | 1 24 | × | 6 |
| = | 1 16 | y | + | 1 24 | y | − | 1 4 |
| = | 5 48 | y | − | 1 4 |
5 48 | y | − | 1 4 | = | 1 |
5 48 | y | = | 1 | + | 1 4 |
5 48 | y | = | 5 4 |
| y | = | 5 4 | ÷ | 5 48 |
| = | 5 4 | × | 48 5 |
| = | 1 | × | 12 |
| y | = | 12 |
