Solve Y=2(29/4)-8

$$Y = 2 ( 29 / 4 ) - 8$$

Solve for Y

$$Y = \frac{13}{2} = 6\frac{1}{2} = 6.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Express 2\times \frac{29}{4} as a single fraction.

$$Y=\frac{2\times 29}{4}-8$$

Multiply 2 and 29 to get 58.

$$Y=\frac{58}{4}-8$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{58}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$Y=\frac{29}{2}-8$$

Convert 8 to fraction \frac{16}{2}.

$$Y=\frac{29}{2}-\frac{16}{2}$$

Since \frac{29}{2} and \frac{16}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$Y=\frac{29-16}{2}$$

Subtract 16 from 29 to get 13.

$$Y=\frac{13}{2}$$

Assign Y

$$Y≔\frac{13}{2}$$
