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

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

Solve for y

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

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Fraction \frac{-2}{3} can be rewritten as -\frac{2}{3} by extracting the negative sign.

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

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

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

Multiply 2 and -2 to get -4.

$$y=\frac{-4}{3}-3$$

Fraction \frac{-4}{3} can be rewritten as -\frac{4}{3} by extracting the negative sign.

$$y=-\frac{4}{3}-3$$

Convert 3 to fraction \frac{9}{3}.

$$y=-\frac{4}{3}-\frac{9}{3}$$

Since -\frac{4}{3} and \frac{9}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$y=\frac{-4-9}{3}$$

Subtract 9 from -4 to get -13.

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

Assign y

$$y≔-\frac{13}{3}$$
