Solve 3*8/7-y=5

$$3 \times \frac{ 8 }{ 7 } -y=5$$

Solve for y

$$y = -\frac{11}{7} = -1\frac{4}{7} \approx -1.571428571$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Express 3\times \frac{8}{7} as a single fraction.

$$\frac{3\times 8}{7}-y=5$$

Multiply 3 and 8 to get 24.

$$\frac{24}{7}-y=5$$

Subtract \frac{24}{7} from both sides.

$$-y=5-\frac{24}{7}$$

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{35}{7}.

$$-y=\frac{35}{7}-\frac{24}{7}$$

Since \frac{35}{7} and \frac{24}{7} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$-y=\frac{35-24}{7}$$

Subtract 24 from 35 to get 11.

$$-y=\frac{11}{7}$$

Multiply both sides by -1.

$$y=-\frac{11}{7}$$
