Solve 2/3-y=3/4

$$\frac { 2 } { 3 } - y = \frac { 3 } { 4 }$$

Solve for y

$$y=-\frac{1}{12}\approx -0.083333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{2}{3} from both sides.

$$-y=\frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{3}$$

Least common multiple of 4 and 3 is 12. Convert \frac{3}{4} and \frac{2}{3} to fractions with denominator 12.

$$-y=\frac{9}{12}-\frac{8}{12}$$

Since \frac{9}{12} and \frac{8}{12} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$-y=\frac{9-8}{12}$$

Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.

$$-y=\frac{1}{12}$$

Multiply both sides by -1.

$$y=-\frac{1}{12}$$
