Question

Chapter: Simplification of Linear Expressions with Fractional Coefficients.

Solve the following expression:

Answer 1

Explanation:

`(1)/(4) (5y + 4) = (1)/(3)(2y - 1) \\ (5y + 4)/(4) = (2y - 1)/(3) \\ 3(5y + 4) = 4(2y - 1) \\ 15y + 12 = 8y - 4 \\ 15y - 8y = - 4 - 12 \\ 7y = - 16 \\ y = ( - 16)/(7) \\ y = - 2.28`

Hope it helps
