Solve y=2(22/16)-3

$$y=2( \frac{ 22 }{ 16 } )-3$$

Solve for y

$$y=-\frac{1}{4}=-0.25$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{22}{16} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$y=2\times \frac{11}{8}-3$$

Express 2\times \frac{11}{8} as a single fraction.

$$y=\frac{2\times 11}{8}-3$$

Multiply 2 and 11 to get 22.

$$y=\frac{22}{8}-3$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{22}{8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$y=\frac{11}{4}-3$$

Convert 3 to fraction \frac{12}{4}.

$$y=\frac{11}{4}-\frac{12}{4}$$

Since \frac{11}{4} and \frac{12}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$y=\frac{11-12}{4}$$

Subtract 12 from 11 to get -1.

$$y=-\frac{1}{4}$$

Assign y

$$y≔-\frac{1}{4}$$
