Hey there! :)
Since 2 4/5 is greater than 1/4, the answer is negative.
You can just subtract 2 4/5 and 1/4 and add the (-) sign
2 4/5 - 1/4
Change the fractions so they can have a common denominator: 20
2 4/5 = 2 16/20
1/4 = 5/20
2 16/20 - 5/20 = 2 11/20
Add the (-) sign → -2 11/20
Answer ⇒ -2 11/20
:)
The answer is Y=-27 hope it helps
Don't you just plug in the variables 8+(2×3)+(3×4)
