Solve 5/6+y=-3/4

$$\frac { 5 } { 6 } + y = - \frac { 3 } { 4 }$$

Solve for y

$$y = -\frac{19}{12} = -1\frac{7}{12} \approx -1.583333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{5}{6} from both sides.

$$y=-\frac{3}{4}-\frac{5}{6}$$

Least common multiple of 4 and 6 is 12. Convert -\frac{3}{4} and \frac{5}{6} to fractions with denominator 12.

$$y=-\frac{9}{12}-\frac{10}{12}$$

Since -\frac{9}{12} and \frac{10}{12} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$y=\frac{-9-10}{12}$$

Subtract 10 from -9 to get -19.

$$y=-\frac{19}{12}$$
