Question

I don’t understand how I would do this problem?

Answer 1

You would need to find what the variable "y" equals.

You can do this by solving the equation.

y - 1.75 = 3

+1.75 +1.75

Add 1.75 to both sides to isolate y to get.

Y = 4.75 or 4 and 3 fourths.

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

y - 1 3/4 = 3

y (- 1 3/4 + 1 3/4) = 3 (+ 1 3/4)

y = 4 3/4

The -1 3/4 + 1 3/4 cancels each other out.
