Question

 5/4=y−1/4y=_____What is the answer?

Answer 1

In this equation, you are solving for y. Simply isolate the variable by adding 1/4 to each side. The -1/4 and 1/4 will cancel out on the right side of the equation, leaving only y:

5/4 = y - 1/4

5/4 + 1/4 = y - 1/4 + 1/4

6/4 = y

y = 6/4

Don't forget to simplify y:

y = 3/2

Answer 2

The answer would be 6/4 or 3/2
