Solve 2/3*1/15-y=1

$$\frac { 2 } { 3 } \cdot \frac { 1 } { 15 } - y = 1$$

Solve for y

$$y=-\frac{43}{45}\approx -0.955555556$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply \frac{2}{3} times \frac{1}{15} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{2\times 1}{3\times 15}-y=1$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{2\times 1}{3\times 15}.

$$\frac{2}{45}-y=1$$

Subtract \frac{2}{45} from both sides.

$$-y=1-\frac{2}{45}$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{45}{45}.

$$-y=\frac{45}{45}-\frac{2}{45}$$

Since \frac{45}{45} and \frac{2}{45} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$-y=\frac{45-2}{45}$$

Subtract 2 from 45 to get 43.

$$-y=\frac{43}{45}$$

Multiply both sides by -1.

$$y=-\frac{43}{45}$$
