Hey there!

Answer =
(3)/(2)(y= (3)/(2))

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5/4 = y - 1/4

Simplify both sides of the equation:


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

Flip the equation:


y+(-1)/(4)= (5)/(4)

Add 1/4 to both sides:


y+(-1)/(4) +(1)/(4) =(5)/(4)+ (1)/(4)


y=(3)/(2)

So therefore, that is how you found your answer:
y=(3)/(2)

Hello!

Answer: y=3/2 *The answer must be have a fraction on it.*

Explanation: First, you had to switch sides of an equation. This gives us, y-1/4=5/4. Then, you add by 1/4 from both sides of an equation. This gives us, y-1/4+1/4=5/4+1/4. And then simplify by equation form. This gives us the final answer is y=3/2 is the correct answer.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!
