Question

Y+ 1/2 =-3/4 How would you do this one

Answer 1

For this math problem, you need to follow a few steps to solve for Y:

We need to isolate Y on to one side of the equation. Since we are adding 1/2 to Y, we would do the opposite-subtract 1/2-from both sides of the equation, in order to isolate and solve for Y.

We end up with this equation:

Y = -3/4 - 1/2. Convert 1/2 to 2/4ths, then do your math to solve for Y

Answer 2

$y+\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{3}{4}\ \ \ |Add\ \frac{1}{2}\ to\ each\ side\\\\ y=-\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{2} \ \ \ |Make\ a common\ denominator\\\\ y=-\frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{4}\\\\ y=-\frac{5}{4}=-1\frac{1}{4}\\\\ y=-1\frac{1}{4}$
