Solve y=1-5*-2/3=

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

Solve for y

$$y = \frac{13}{3} = 4\frac{1}{3} \approx 4.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Express 5\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right) as a single fraction.

$$y=1-\frac{5\left(-2\right)}{3}$$

Multiply 5 and -2 to get -10.

$$y=1-\frac{-10}{3}$$

Fraction \frac{-10}{3} can be rewritten as -\frac{10}{3} by extracting the negative sign.

$$y=1-\left(-\frac{10}{3}\right)$$

The opposite of -\frac{10}{3} is \frac{10}{3}.

$$y=1+\frac{10}{3}$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{3}{3}.

$$y=\frac{3}{3}+\frac{10}{3}$$

Since \frac{3}{3} and \frac{10}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$y=\frac{3+10}{3}$$

Add 3 and 10 to get 13.

$$y=\frac{13}{3}$$

Assign y

$$y≔\frac{13}{3}$$
