For this, since 4y - 7 and 2y - 1 are congruent, we can solve for y by setting them equal to each other.

$4y-7=2y-1$

Firstly, subtract 2y on both sides of the equation. $2y-7=-1$

Next, add 7 on both sides of the equation. $2y=6$

Finally, divide 2 on both sides of the equation, and your answer will be y = 3

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Fractions</u>

They can be expressed as proper fractions, improper fractions or mixed numbers. Proper fractions are such that the numerator is less than the denominator, like 2/5, 7/11, -9/10. Improper fractions are those whose numerators are greater than the denominator, such as 5/3, 10/9, -21/8.

Mixed numbers are expressions made of whole numbers and a proper fraction, like 4 3/5, 1 1/2, -5 4/9. Mixed numbers can be transformed to improper fractions and vice-versa.

The question requires us to find the average change in field position on each run of the running back for the Bulldogs football team which carried the ball 5 times for a total loss of 11 1/4 yards.

The number 11 1/4 is mixed, to express it as an improper fraction, we add the numbers like

$\displaystyle 11+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{45}{4}$
