Question

Solve for y.


`(2)/(3)+y-(1)/(9)=(7)/(9) \\`

Enter your answer in the box.

y =__

Answer 1

y =
`(2)/(9)`

Explanation:

multiply
`(2)/(3)` by
`(3)/(3)` to get
`(6)/(9)`:

`(6)/(9)` + y -
`(1)/(9)` =
`(7)/(9)`

simplify:

y +
`(5)/(9)` =
`(7)/(9)`

subract
`(5)/(9)` from both sides:

y =
`(2)/(9)`
