Question

Solve for y. 2/3 + y - 4/5 = 1/3 Enter your answer in the box. y =

Answer 1

Step 1. Simplify $\frac{2}{3} +y- \frac{4}{5}$ to $y- \frac{2}{15}$

$y- \frac{2}{15} = \frac{1}{3}$

Step 2. add $\frac{2}{15}$ to both sides

$y= \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{15}$ 

Step 3. Simplify $\frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{15}$ to $\frac{7}{15}$

$y= \frac{7}{15}$

Done! :) (Decimal Form: 0.4667)
