Solve 3y=-60/13+2

$$3 y = - \frac { 60 } { 13 } + 2$$

Solve for y

$$y=-\frac{34}{39}\approx -0.871794872$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{26}{13}.

$$3y=-\frac{60}{13}+\frac{26}{13}$$

Since -\frac{60}{13} and \frac{26}{13} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$3y=\frac{-60+26}{13}$$

Add -60 and 26 to get -34.

$$3y=-\frac{34}{13}$$

Divide both sides by 3.

$$y=\frac{-\frac{34}{13}}{3}$$

Express \frac{-\frac{34}{13}}{3} as a single fraction.

$$y=\frac{-34}{13\times 3}$$

Multiply 13 and 3 to get 39.

$$y=\frac{-34}{39}$$

Fraction \frac{-34}{39} can be rewritten as -\frac{34}{39} by extracting the negative sign.

$$y=-\frac{34}{39}$$
