Question

Simplify.

1/4y+1 1/ 2+2−1 3/4y−12

Answer 1

y=-1.5


hope this helps
:)

Answer 2

`(1)/(4) y+ 1 (1)/(2) + 2 - 1 (3)/(4) y-12`

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

`(1)/(4) y+ (3)/(2) + 2 - (7)/(4) y-12`

lets add the similar terms

`((1)/(4) -(7)/(4) )y + (3)/(2) +(2-12)`

`(-3)/(2) y + (3)/(2) -10`

`(-3)/(2) y - (17)/(2)`

-1.5y-8.5

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