Answer 2

$\frac{1}{4} y+ 1 \frac{1}{2} + 2 - 1 \frac{3}{4} y-12$

It is easy to calculate when we convert all the mixed fractions to proper fractions

$\frac{1}{4} y+ \frac{3}{2} + 2 - \frac{7}{4} y-12$

lets add the similar terms

$(\frac{1}{4} -\frac{7}{4} )y + \frac{3}{2} +(2-12)$

$\frac{-3}{2} y + \frac{3}{2} -10$

$\frac{-3}{2} y - \frac{17}{2}$

-1.5y-8.5

As we cannot simplify this further, this will be our simplified answer
