Solve 4(3/9)-y=11/3

$$4 ( \frac { 3 } { 9 } ) - y = \frac { 11 } { 3 }$$

Solve for y

$$y = -\frac{7}{3} = -2\frac{1}{3} \approx -2.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{9} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$4\times \frac{1}{3}-y=\frac{11}{3}$$

Multiply 4 and \frac{1}{3} to get \frac{4}{3}.

$$\frac{4}{3}-y=\frac{11}{3}$$

Subtract \frac{4}{3} from both sides.

$$-y=\frac{11}{3}-\frac{4}{3}$$

Since \frac{11}{3} and \frac{4}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$-y=\frac{11-4}{3}$$

Subtract 4 from 11 to get 7.

$$-y=\frac{7}{3}$$

Multiply both sides by -1.

$$y=-\frac{7}{3}$$
