Please help me out with this so I can keep my kitten.

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = \frac{32}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, move over the negative 3/4 fraction (don't forget to swap the operation i.e subtract to add):

$\frac{y}{8} = \frac{7}{12} + \frac{3}{4}$

Now, to add the two fractions, simply multiply the numerator and denominator by 3:

$\frac{3*3}{4*3} = \frac{9}{12}$

Now add this to the other fraction:

$\frac{9}{12} + \frac{7}{12} = \frac{16}{12}$

This can be simplified down by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4:

$\frac{4}{3}$

Which now simplifies the original equation to:

$\frac{y}{8} = \frac{4}{3}$

Remove the y out of the fraction:

$\frac{1}{8}y = \frac{4}{3}$

Now multiply both sides by 8:

$(\frac{1}{8}y) * 8 = (\frac{4}{3}) * 8$

$y = \frac{4*8}{3}$

$y = \frac{32}{3}$

Hope this helps!
