Solve 2y=-4*-1/8+1

$$2 y = - 4 \cdot - \frac { 1 } { 8 } + 1$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{3}{4}=0.75$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Express -4\left(-\frac{1}{8}\right) as a single fraction.

$$2y=\frac{-4\left(-1\right)}{8}+1$$

Multiply -4 and -1 to get 4.

$$2y=\frac{4}{8}+1$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{4}{8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$2y=\frac{1}{2}+1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{2}{2}.

$$2y=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{2}$$

Since \frac{1}{2} and \frac{2}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$2y=\frac{1+2}{2}$$

Add 1 and 2 to get 3.

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

Divide both sides by 2.

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

Express \frac{\frac{3}{2}}{2} as a single fraction.

$$y=\frac{3}{2\times 2}$$

Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.

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