Solve y=2/3(-3)+1/3

$$y = \frac { 2 } { 3 } ( - 3 ) + \frac { 1 } { 3 }$$

Solve for y

$$y = -\frac{5}{3} = -1\frac{2}{3} \approx -1.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Express \frac{2}{3}\left(-3\right) as a single fraction.

$$y=\frac{2\left(-3\right)}{3}+\frac{1}{3}$$

Multiply 2 and -3 to get -6.

$$y=\frac{-6}{3}+\frac{1}{3}$$

Divide -6 by 3 to get -2.

$$y=-2+\frac{1}{3}$$

Convert -2 to fraction -\frac{6}{3}.

$$y=-\frac{6}{3}+\frac{1}{3}$$

Since -\frac{6}{3} and \frac{1}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$y=\frac{-6+1}{3}$$

Add -6 and 1 to get -5.

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

Assign y

$$y≔-\frac{5}{3}$$
