Solve y=-2/5+2/3/2

$$y = \frac { - \frac { 2 } { 5 } + \frac { 2 } { 3 } } { 2 }$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{2}{15}\approx 0.133333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Least common multiple of 5 and 3 is 15. Convert -\frac{2}{5} and \frac{2}{3} to fractions with denominator 15.

$$y=\frac{-\frac{6}{15}+\frac{10}{15}}{2}$$

Since -\frac{6}{15} and \frac{10}{15} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$y=\frac{\frac{-6+10}{15}}{2}$$

Add -6 and 10 to get 4.

$$y=\frac{\frac{4}{15}}{2}$$

Express \frac{\frac{4}{15}}{2} as a single fraction.

$$y=\frac{4}{15\times 2}$$

Multiply 15 and 2 to get 30.

$$y=\frac{4}{30}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{4}{30} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$y=\frac{2}{15}$$

Assign y

$$y≔\frac{2}{15}$$
