Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, move over the negative 3/4 fraction (don't forget to swap the operation i.e subtract to add):
Now, to add the two fractions, simply multiply the numerator and denominator by 3:
Now add this to the other fraction:
This can be simplified down by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4:
Which now simplifies the original equation to:
Remove the y out of the fraction:
Now multiply both sides by 8:
