1) 1/4y + 1 1/2 + 2 - 1 3/4y - 12
= 1/4y + 3/2 + 2 - 7/4y - 12
= 1/4y - 7/4y + 3/2 - 10
= 6y / 4 - 17/20
In short, Your Answer would be: 3y/2 - 17/20
2) 5 = x/5 - 3
x/5 = 5 + 3
x = 8 * 5
x = 40
In short, Your Answer would be 40
3) [ If you are asking about subtraction ]
3h/4 + 4 - (h/2 + 1 )
3h/4 - h/2 + 4 - 1
3h - 2h /4 + 3
= h/4 + 3
In short, Your Answer would be: 1/4 h + 3
Hope this helps!
