Question

Solve the equation. Check your solution.2/3 = y + 1 1/6

Answer 1

Solve the equation:

`\begin{gathered} (2)/(3)=y+1(1)/(6) \\ \end{gathered}`

To solve this expression we need to use inverse operations to solve equations, addition and subtraction are inverse operations, multiplication and division too.

Then,

`\begin{gathered} (2)/(3)=y+(7)/(6) \\ y=(2)/(3)-(7)/(6) \\ y=-(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`
