Solve 4y/3-7y/18=

$$\frac { 4 y } { 3 } - \frac { 7 y } { 18 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{17y}{18}$$

Short Solution Steps

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 3 and 18 is 18. Multiply \frac{4y}{3} times \frac{6}{6}.

$$\frac{6\times 4y}{18}-\frac{7y}{18}$$

Since \frac{6\times 4y}{18} and \frac{7y}{18} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{6\times 4y-7y}{18}$$

Do the multiplications in 6\times 4y-7y.

$$\frac{24y-7y}{18}$$

Combine like terms in 24y-7y.

$$\frac{17y}{18}$$

Differentiate w.r.t. y

$$\frac{17}{18} = 0.9444444444444444$$
