Solve y=-5/6*3-1=

$$y = - \frac { 5 } { 6 } \cdot 3 - 1 =$$

Solve for y

$$y = -\frac{7}{2} = -3\frac{1}{2} = -3.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Express -\frac{5}{6}\times 3 as a single fraction.

$$y=\frac{-5\times 3}{6}-1$$

Multiply -5 and 3 to get -15.

$$y=\frac{-15}{6}-1$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-15}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$y=-\frac{5}{2}-1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{2}{2}.

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

Since -\frac{5}{2} and \frac{2}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Subtract 2 from -5 to get -7.

$$y=-\frac{7}{2}$$

Assign y

$$y≔-\frac{7}{2}$$
