Solve y=(-48/13/3)-4

$$y=( \frac{ \frac{ -48 }{ 13 } }{ 3 } )-4$$

Solve for y

$$y = -\frac{68}{13} = -5\frac{3}{13} \approx -5.230769231$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Fraction \frac{-48}{13} can be rewritten as -\frac{48}{13} by extracting the negative sign.

$$y=\frac{-\frac{48}{13}}{3}-4$$

Express \frac{-\frac{48}{13}}{3} as a single fraction.

$$y=\frac{-48}{13\times 3}-4$$

Multiply 13 and 3 to get 39.

$$y=\frac{-48}{39}-4$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-48}{39} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$y=-\frac{16}{13}-4$$

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{52}{13}.

$$y=-\frac{16}{13}-\frac{52}{13}$$

Since -\frac{16}{13} and \frac{52}{13} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$y=\frac{-16-52}{13}$$

Subtract 52 from -16 to get -68.

$$y=-\frac{68}{13}$$

Assign y

$$y≔-\frac{68}{13}$$
