Solve 11/2-2y=1/4

$$1 \frac { 1 } { 2 } - 2 y = \frac { 1 } { 4 }$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{5}{8}=0.625$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4, the least common multiple of 2,4.

$$2\left(1\times 2+1\right)-8y=1$$

Multiply 1 and 2 to get 2.

$$2\left(2+1\right)-8y=1$$

Add 2 and 1 to get 3.

$$2\times 3-8y=1$$

Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.

$$6-8y=1$$

Subtract 6 from both sides.

$$-8y=1-6$$

Subtract 6 from 1 to get -5.

$$-8y=-5$$

Divide both sides by -8.

$$y=\frac{-5}{-8}$$

Fraction \frac{-5}{-8} can be simplified to \frac{5}{8} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$y=\frac{5}{8}$$
