You can set both fractions to have the same denominator by multiplying 6/8 (both the 6 and 8) by 2 to keep the value of the fraction, while turning the denominator to 16. So you get 12/16=y/16.
That means for the equation to be true y has to be 12.
Hope this helps!
The equation would be 3l-5.
4 + -1 1/3
Turn 4 into an improper fraction.
4/4 is equal to 12/3. We want both 4 and 1 1/3 to have the same denominator so that they could be subtracted from each other.
New question :
12/3 + - 1 1/3
Turn {-1 1/3} into an improper fraction.
(3 × 1) + 1 = 4/3
So, -1 1/3 = -4/3
Our new question :
12/3 + - 4/3
Simplify.
12/3 - 4/3 = 8/3
Turn into a mixed number.
2 2/3
